Troubleshooting 37
Restarting the Server
1 If you can, save any open documents before restarting.
2 If you can, choose Log Out from the File menu, then click Restart.
3 If you can’t log out or choose Restart, force a restart by holding down the Control and Power
keys while you press the R key.
4 If the computer still doesn’t restart, hold down the
x and Control keys while you press the
Power key.
5 If the server still doesn’t restart, turn off the server using the power switch. If this doesn’t
work, or if your server doesn’t have a power switch, unplug your server.
6 Wait at least 30 seconds, then reconnect the power plug (if necessary) and turn your server
on again by pressing the Power key on the keyboard.
7 Use the fsck command (see “Repairing Mac OS X Server Disks” on page 38) to check the root
file system disk.
