Procedure
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps
are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when
standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install
the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
Power up the server
Press the Power On/Standby button.
The server exits standby mode and applies full power to the system. The system power LED changes to
green.
Power down the server
Prerequisites
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical
server data and programs.
Procedure
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby
mode.
• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter standby
mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If
an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
The system power LED changes to red indicating that the server is in standby mode. Auxiliary power is still
present in the system in this mode.
