Powering Off a Blade Server Using the Power Button
You can also shut down servers remotely using Cisco UCS Manager or CIMC. For details, see the
Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides
are available at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10281/products_installation_
and_configuration_guides_list.html
Tip
Procedure
Step 1
If you are local to the server, check the color of the Power Status LED for each server in the chassis that you want to
power off.
•
Green indicates that the server is running and must be shut down before it can be safely powered off. Go to Step 2.
•
Amber indicates that the server is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to Step 3.
Step 2
Press and release the Power button, then wait until the Power Status LED changes to amber.
The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode.
To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the
operating system.
Caution
Step 3
(Optional) If you are shutting down all blade servers in a chassis, disconnect the power cords from the chassis to completely
power off the servers.
Step 4
Remove the appropriate servers from the chassis.
