Turning off your server

Every time you turn off your server, first shut down the operating system. You may lose
data if you do not follow the correct procedure.

To turn off the server:

1

See the operating system’s documentation or online help for instructions on shutting
down the operating system. Whenever possible, you should use the operating system’s
shut down procedure instead of pressing the power button.

2

If your server did not turn off automatically, press the power button.

- OR -

Press the reset button to reset the server.

Setting up the operating system

If you ordered your server with the operating system already installed by Gateway, it is
completely installed and the basic settings are already configured. See your operating
system’s documentation for instructions on configuring advanced settings for your specific
network.

If you are installing an operating system because it was not already installed by Gateway,
see the appropriate installation guide for instructions.

Warning

The power button on the server does not turn off server
AC power. To remove AC power from the server, you must
unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or power
source. The power cord is considered the disconnect
device to the main (AC) power.
