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.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system. For more information, see the operating system documentation.
NOTE: If the operating system automatically places the server in Standby mode, omit the
next 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.
