Oracle X10 - Powering down the Server

Caution:
Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to
personal health, follow the instructions.
Electrostatic Discharge Safety
Devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), such as the motherboard, PCIe
cards, drives, processors, and memory DIMMs require special handling.
Caution:
The boards and drives contain electronic components that are extremely sensitive to
static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work
environment can destroy components. Do not touch the components along their
connector edges.
Do the following when handling ESD-sensitive components:
• Use an antistatic wrist strap.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap when handling components such as drive assemblies,
boards, or cards. When servicing or removing server components, disconnect the power
cords from the server. Attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and to a metal area on the
chassis. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the
server.
Note:
An antistatic wrist strap is not included in the Accessory Kit for the server.
However, antistatic wrist straps are included with optional components.
• Use an antistatic mat.
Place ESD-sensitive components such as the motherboard, DIMMS (memory modules),
and other printed circuit board (PCB) cards on an antistatic mat. The following items can
be used as an antistatic mat:
– Antistatic bag used to wrap an Oracle replacement part
– Oracle ESD mat (orderable item)
– Disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or optional system
components)
Powering Down the Server
Gracefully shut down the server host to prevent data from being corrupted. Performing a
graceful shutdown ensures that the system is ready for restart. If the server is not responding,
or you must shut down the server quickly, perform an immediate shutdown.
