Shutting Down
To shut down the chassis, if you are using the monitor attached to the chassis itself, you can use any
of the three following techniques:
l
From IxExplorer, select the chassis in the tree view, click Tools and choose Shutdown.
l
Close IxExplorer, and shut down Windows by using the Shutdown option from the Start menu.
l Press the power button in front of the chassis.
If you are using IxExplorer remotely, you can shut down the chassis by:
l From IxExplorer, select the chassis in the tree view, click ‘Tools’ and choose ‘Shutdown.’
If no monitor attached directly to the chassis, you can also:
l Press the power button in front of the chassis.
All of these options invoke shutdown of Windows, and turn off the power supply in the chassis. When
the chassis is powered off but still getting AC power, the yellow ‘Standby’ LED on the front of the
chassis is lit. Try to avoid powering down the unit by removing AC power or turning off the power switch
at the AC power input module on the rear of the chassis, as this may cause file system problems.
