Getting Started
Switching off the server

1 Terminate all application software operating on the operating system. Be

sure to save the data of the application software before exiting.

NOTE: When power is switched off using the Automatic Shutdown function,
the application software is forcibly terminated so that any unsaved data will
be lost. However, you do not need to manually shut down the operating
system (Windows NT) before shutting down the server. Programs that do
not shut down properly may log errors or Dr. Watson events.

2 Press the power on/off switch for about seven seconds until the buzzer

sounds.

If the power on/off switch is released before the buzzer gives a continuous
sound, the exit processing is interrupted and power remains on.

3 Check that the Power lamp turns off and the server has stopped normally.

If the exit process did not end normally, forcibly shut down the system. See
“Sever Setup Tool User’s Guide”“Abnormal system shutdown” on page 31.

Precautions when using Automatic Shutdown

There is a possibility of malfunction if the power on/off switch is operated
during startup or shutdown, or other than the normal way.

During startup, do not operate the power on/off switch until the Begin login
dialog appears on the screen.

During shutdown, do not operate the power on/off switch until the Safe to
Switch Power Off dialog appears on the screen.

If you elect to do a restart, do not operate the power on/off switch until the
system reboot begins.

Do not press the power on/off switch repeatedly at short time intervals.

Logon by a user without shutdown rights

If an unauthorized user attempts to shut down the system, the Automatic
Shutdown function disables the power on/off switch and the server remains on.

To reactivate the ASD function, log in as a user with shutdown rights
(administrator), then shut down the system and switch off the power by normal
manual operation. The Automatic Shutdown function is restored when you
restart the system.

If at all possible, avoid problems by using these options:
