Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
Power down the server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some
internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
NOTE: If the operating system automatically places the server in Standby mode, omit the next
step.
3. Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in Standby mode. When the server activates
Standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
IMPORTANT: Pressing the UID button illuminates the blue UID LEDs on the front or rear panels.
In a rack environment, this feature facilitates locating a server when moving between the front
and rear of the rack.
4. Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
Extend the server from the rack
NOTE: If the optional cable management arm option is installed, you can extend the server
without powering down the server or disconnecting peripheral cables and power cords. These
steps are only necessary with the standard cable management solution.
1. Power down the server (on page 17 ).
2. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords from the server rear panel.
3. Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the server faceplate to the front of the rack.
4. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
