Powering Down the Server
Determine how you want to power down the server by reviewing the options in the following
table.
Note - Some server components, such as storage drives, power supplies, fan modules, and M.2
flash SSDs are hot-pluggable. Components that are hot-pluggable do not require the server to be
powered down when performing service procedures.

Power down the server gracefully to prevent data from
being corrupted. Performing a graceful shutdown ensures
that the system is ready for restart.
