Turning off the server Turning off the server refers to the act of disconnecting the server from the power source. Statement 5: CAUTION: The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source. 2 1 You can turn off the server in any of the following ways: v You can press the power-control button on the front of the server. This starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by your operating system. Note: After performing an orderly shutdown, wait at least 5 seconds before you press the power-control button to turn on the server again. v You might need to press and hold the power-control button for more than 4 seconds to cause an immediate shutdown of the server and to force the power off. You can use this feature if the operating system stops functioning. v If the system was turned on by the wake-up feature or Wake on LAN feature, you can turn it off by either a software runtime utility or by the fail-safe, power-down counter. v You can disconnect the server power cords from the electrical outlets to shut off all power to the server. Note: After disconnecting the power cords, wait approximately 15 seconds for your system to stop running. Watch for the power-on light to stop blinking. v If the system is connected to an ASM interconnect network which contains at least one system with a Remote Supervisor Adapter installed, the system can be turned off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter user interface. v If a Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed in the system, the system can be turned off from the Remote Supervisor Adapter user interface. 10 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 232, Type 8668
