Turning off your server
Every time you turn off your server, first shut down the operating system. You
may lose data if you do not follow the correct procedure.
To turn off the server:
1 See the operating system’s documentation or online help for instructions
on shutting down the operating system. Whenever possible, you should
use the operating system’s shut down procedure instead of pressing the
power button.
2 If your server did not turn off automatically, press the power button. If
nothing happens when you press the power button, press and hold it for
five seconds and the server will turn off.
Warning The power button on the server does not turn off server
AC power. To remove AC power from the server, you must
unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or power
source. The power cord is considered the disconnect
device to the main (AC) power.
Warning If you routinely turn off your server (daily or weekly), do
not unplug the server or use the On/Off switch on the UPS.
Regularly cutting off all power to your server may cause
the CMOS battery to fail prematurely.
