Turning off the server
Turning off the server refers to the act of disconnecting the server from the power
source.
Complete the following steps to turn off the server:
1. Refer to your operating system documentation for the proper procedure to shut
down the operating system.
Note: Each operating system is different. Some will allow an immediate shut
down, while others require an orderly shut-down procedure.
2. Press the power control button on the front of the server. This will put the server
in stand-by mode.
3. Disconnect the server from the power source.
Note: After you turn off the server, wait at least 5 seconds before you turn on
the server again.
Stand-by mode
Stand-by puts the server in a wait state. When in a wait state, the server is not
running the operating system, and all core logic is shut down except for the service
processor.
Complete the following steps to put the server into the stand-by mode:
1. Refer to your operating system documentation for the proper procedure to shut-
down the operating system.
Note: Each operating system is different. Read all the documentation about
shutting down the operating system before continuing.
2. Press the power control button on the front of the server.
