Switching off the server
The method for switching off the server varies depending on the
operating system used. Check the operating system and switch the
server off using the normal method or use the automatic shutdown
function.
Every time the server is to be switched off, use only one of the
methods mentioned above. Using both methods simultaneously,
will cause the server to fail during its normal shutdown operation.
Normal shutdown
If no automatic shutdown function is installed in the operating sys-
tem, switch the server off by using the normal shutdown
procedure as follows.
1 Prepare the server system for switching it off by the normal
method.
For shutting down the operating system,
see “User’s Manual for the Operating System”.
2 Press the power/sleep button.
Using the automatic shutdown function
The automatic shutdown function is only available when the
server runs under the Windows 2000 operating system. If the
power/sleep button is pressed on another operating system, the
server is immediately switched off without the preliminary pro-
cess necessary for shutdown. In the case the exclusive automatic
shutdown software is not installed in the Windows 2000 operating
system, no automatic shutdown operation is executed and the
server is switched off without the preliminary process as the
power/sleep button is pressed.
When the automatic shutdown function is not used, be sure to exe-
cute the preliminary process required for quitting the operating
system before pressing the power/sleep button.
Switch the server off using the automatic shutdown function
according to the following procedure:
