1 Power-on indicator,
power button
The power-on indicator lights when the system
power is on. The power button controls the

Warning: Turning off the power removes the

you must unplug the Node before
servicing unless you are replacing a
hot-swappable part (see
Hot-

shutting down the system may result in
loss of data (see
Turning On and
Shutting Down the System on
page 23).
Note: To shut down the Node in the event of an
emergency, press and hold the power
button for 4 seconds. Warning: This may
result in data loss and may cause a delay
on next startup due to a blockpool verify
operation.
