Notes on use of the automatic shutdown function
Hints on operation of the power switch
If the power switch is operated during operation of the operating system or
shutdown operation or the power switch is operated in a wrong way, it may
cause malfunction of the server.
Follow the instructions mentioned below for securing steady operation of the
system.
When starting up the operating system, don’t operate the power switch until
the log-on dialog “Welcome” appears on the screen following the “Selec-
tion of operating system” menu of the Windows NT/2000.
After the shutdown operation starts, don’t operate the power switch until the
“It is now safe to turn off your computer” dialog appears on the screen.
After the “Restart” command is selected, don’t operate the power switch.
Don’t repeat to press the power switch without intervals.
Logon by a user without shutdown rights
If the server is logged on by a user having no right to shut it down such as a user
entered in the “Guest” of a default setting on installation or a user registered by
the systen administrator, the automatic shutdown function with the power
switch is disabled.
If this operation is once performed, the automatic shutdown function with the
power switch becomes ineffectual. If the server comes into this status, again log
on the server by the name of the systen administrator and then carry out the
normal manual shutdown operation and cut off the power. The automatic
shutdown function recovers as the system is restarted.
If there is a possibility that the server comes into that trouble, avoid it by the
following ways.
Operate the power switch after log-off operation.
Prohibit the “Guest” from log-on or let all users including those of “Guest”
have the right to shut down the server.
The application in operation
Differently from the case of the normal shutdown, the application in operation
is forcibly exited by the shutdown operation with the power switch. When
shutting down the server in this way, pay heed to the data under editing because
it is not saved after shutdown.
