2.2 Powering Off the Server
1. Choose a method for shutting down the server from main power mode to
standby power mode.
■ Graceful shutdown: Use a nonconducting pointer or stylus to press and release
the Power button on the front panel. This causes Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) enabled operating systems to perform an orderly
shutdown of the operating system. Servers not running ACPI-enabled
operating systems will shut down to standby power mode immediately.
■ Emergency shutdown: Press and hold the Power button for four seconds to
force main power off and enter standby power mode.
When main power is off, the Power/OK LED on the front panel will begin
flashing, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.
