Powering down and disconnecting the S8500 server
To power down the S8500 server:
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Do not unplug a functioning server without stopping all processes first. Failure to
do this will corrupt the hard drive.

shut down the server.
2. If Step 1 does not work, press the power button to shut off the server.

button down too long causes a reboot of the server.
