This method forces the server blades or workstation blades to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. It provides an emergency shutdown method in the event of a hung application. • Execute one of the following commands using the Onboard Administrator CLI: poweroff server all or poweroff server all force The first command initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blades or workstation blades enter standby mode. The second form of the command forces the server blades or workstation blades to enter standby mode without exiting applications and the OS. This is an emergency method to force a shutdown in the event of a hung application. • Use the Onboard Administrator GUI to initiate a shutdown: a. Select the Enclosure Information tab, then select the Overall checkbox in the Device Bays item. b. Initiate a shutdown from the Virtual Power menu: - Select Momentary Press to initiate a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS. - Select Press and Hold to initiate an emergency shutdown of applications and the OS. IMPORTANT: When the server blades or workstation blades are in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided. To remove all power from the server blades or workstation blades, remove the server blades or workstation blades from the enclosure. After initiating a virtual power down command, be sure that the server blades or workstation blades go into standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber. Power down the storage blades In systems that use storage blades as external data storage, be sure that the partner server blades or workstation blades are the first to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution enables the system to initialize the storage blades when they are powered up and to shut down the storage blades and the OS in an orderly manner when they are powered down. IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the storage blades. To power down the storage blades, power down the partner server blades or workstation blades. The storage blades automatically switch to standby mode. The storage blades remain in standby mode as long as power is available to the enclosure. Power down the enclosure 1. Power down all server blades or workstation blades ("Power down the server blades or workstation blades" on page 30). 2. Power down all storage blades ("Power down the storage blades" on page 31). 3. Disconnect all power cables. Removal and replacement procedures 31

Removal and replacement procedures

This method forces the server blades or workstation blades to enter standby mode without properly
exiting applications and the OS. It provides an emergency shutdown method in the event of a hung
application.
Execute one of the following commands using the Onboard Administrator CLI:
poweroff server all
or
poweroff server all force
The first command initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server
blades or workstation blades enter standby mode. The second form of the command forces the
server blades or workstation blades to enter standby mode without exiting applications and the OS.
This is an emergency method to force a shutdown in the event of a hung application.
Use the Onboard Administrator GUI to initiate a shutdown:
a.
Select the Enclosure Information tab, then select the Overall checkbox in the Device Bays item.
b.
Initiate a shutdown from the Virtual Power menu:
Select Momentary Press to initiate a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS.
Select Press and Hold to initiate an emergency shutdown of applications and the OS.
IMPORTANT:
When the server blades or workstation blades are in standby mode, auxiliary
power is still being provided. To remove all power from the server blades or workstation
blades, remove the server blades or workstation blades from the enclosure.
After initiating a virtual power down command, be sure that the server blades or workstation blades go
into standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
Power down the storage blades
In systems that use storage blades as external data storage, be sure that the partner server blades or
workstation blades are the first to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this
precaution enables the system to initialize the storage blades when they are powered up and to shut
down the storage blades and the OS in an orderly manner when they are powered down.
IMPORTANT:
If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the storage
blades.
To power down the storage blades, power down the partner server blades or workstation blades. The
storage blades automatically switch to standby mode. The storage blades remain in standby mode as
long as power is available to the enclosure.
Power down the enclosure
1.
Power down all server blades or workstation blades ("Power down the server blades or workstation
blades" on page 30).
2.
Power down all storage blades ("Power down the storage blades" on page 31).
3.
Disconnect all power cables.
