Rack-Mountable Server Installation 2-25 IMPORTANT: After power is first applied to a power supply, booting begins after a 10second delay. If you insert a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive before powering on the server, the system ROM boots to that utility. If the system ROM does not detect one of the CDs, you are prompted for your intended operating system. The system will reboot if any operating system-dependent configurations have changed with the new operating system selection. If the selected operating system-dependent configurations are the same as the current configurations, the system will boot normally. If you enter a wrong choice, you can select another operating system during subsequent reboots. Powering Down the Server The system power in the ProLiant 6400R server does not shut off completely with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two positions of the switch function as on and standby, instead of on and off. The standby position removes power from most of the electronics and drives, but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To remove all power from the system, disconnect all power cords from the server. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, disconnect power from the server by unplugging all power cords from either the electrical outlet or the server. NOTE: Microsoft Windows NT users may use the Compaq Power Down Manager to power down the server. For information, refer to the NTREADME.HLP file on diskette 1 of the NTSSD. 1. Press the Power On/Standby switch to standby. 2. Verify that the system LED on the front panel, near the Power On/Standby switch, turns off and that all fans stop spinning. 3. Disconnect all power cords from the server to remove all power.

Rack-Mountable Server Installation

IMPORTANT:
After power is first applied to a power supply, booting begins after a 10-
second delay.
If you insert a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart and Support
Software CD in the CD-ROM drive before powering on the server, the system
ROM boots to that utility. If the system ROM does not detect one of the CDs,
you are prompted for your intended operating system. The system will reboot
if any operating system-dependent configurations have changed with the new
operating system selection. If the selected operating system-dependent
configurations are the same as the current configurations, the system will boot
normally. If you enter a wrong choice, you can select another operating system
during subsequent reboots.
Powering Down the Server
The system power in the ProLiant 6400R server does not shut off completely
with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two positions of the switch
function as on and standby, instead of on and off. The standby position
removes power from most of the electronics and drives, but portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active.
To remove all power from the system, disconnect all power cords from the
server.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
the equipment, disconnect power from the server by
unplugging all power cords from either the electrical outlet or
the server.
NOTE:
Microsoft Windows NT users may use the Compaq Power Down Manager to power
down the server. For information, refer to the NTREADME.HLP file on diskette 1 of the
NTSSD.
1.
Press the Power On/Standby switch to standby.
2.
Verify that the system LED on the front panel, near the
Power On/Standby switch, turns off and that all fans stop spinning.
3.
Disconnect all power cords from the server to remove all power.
