Server Installation 2-29 If you insert a SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive prior to powering on the server, the system ROM will boot to that utility. If the system ROM does not detect one of those CDs, you will be prompted for your intended operating system. The system will reboot if any operating systemdependent 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, on subsequent re-boots you may change your operating system selection. Powering Down the Server The system power in the ProLiant 8500 does not shut off completely with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two modes of the switch are ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and OFF. The STANDBY position removes power from most of the electronics and the drives, but portions of the power supply, the Integrated Management Display (IMD), the system interlock circuitry, and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove all power from the system, you must 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: Windows NT users may use the Compaq Power Down Manager to power down their server. For information refer to the NTREADME.HLP file on diskette 1 of the NTSSD. 1. Press the Power On/Standby switch to STANDBY. This places the server in standby, thereby disabling the main power supply output and providing auxiliary power (+ 5V) to the server. Standby does not disable main output power. 2. Verify that the system LED on the front panel, near the power on/standby switch, goes dark and fan noise abates. 3. Disconnect all power cords from the server to disable power to the server.

prior to powering on the server, the system ROM will boot to that utility. If the
system ROM does not detect one of those CDs, you will be 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

Powering Down the Server
The system power in the ProLiant 8500 does not shut off completely with the
front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two modes of the switch are ON
and STANDBY, rather than ON and OFF. The STANDBY position removes
power from most of the electronics and the drives, but portions of the power
supply, the Integrated Management Display (IMD), the system interlock
circuitry, and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove all
power from the system, you must 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:
Windows NT users may use the Compaq Power Down Manager to power down
their server. For information refer to the NTREADME.HLP file on diskette 1 of the NTSSD.
1.
Press the Power On/Standby switch to STANDBY. This places the
server in standby, thereby disabling the main power supply output and
providing auxiliary power (+ 5V) to the server. Standby does not disable
main output power.
2.
Verify that the system LED on the front panel, near the power
on/standby switch, goes dark and fan noise abates.
