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.

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 and 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.
