Tasks for replacing an S8500/B/C server
9
Task Description
1 Shut down the server If the hard drive is functional, under Server, click
Shutdown This Server then unclick Restart Server
after Shutdown. Press the power-control button on
the front of the server. The internal fan shuts off.
Caution: Do not unplug a functioning server without
stopping all processes first. Failure to do this corrupts
the hard drive. This is especially important if reusing
the hard drive.
Caution: Do not hold down the power button for more
than a split second. Holding the button down too long
causes the server to reboot.
2 Unplug the server Once the server is completely shut down, unplug the
power cords from the server and RSA/SAMP.
Caution: Do not unplug a functioning server without
stopping all processes first. Failure to do this corrupts
the hard drive. This is especially important if reusing
the hard drive.

Ethernet ports on the RSA/SAMP and dual NIC (if
used).
Disconnect all attached devices, including the laptop,
both modems, and the external flashcard reader (if
used).
