If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown. • Use a virtual power button selection through iLO. This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the node enters standby mode. Before proceeding, verify the node is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber. Remove a node from the chassis 1. Power down the node (on page 19). CAUTION: To avoid damage to the node, always support the bottom of the node when removing it from the chassis. 2. Remove the node from the chassis: a. Press the release button. b. Lower the handle.
