Compaq ProLiant 5500 Setup And Installation Manual page 61

1. Back up your server data.
2. Shut down the operating system in an orderly manner as directed in your
operating system instructions.
3. Power down the server and remove the power cord(s).
WARNING: Before removing the server top panel, ensure that
the server is turned off and that the power cord is disconnected
from the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: The system power in the ProLiant 5500 and 5500R server
does not completely shut off with the front panel Power On/Standby switch.
The two positions of the switch function as 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 and some internal circuitry
remain active. Consequently, to completely remove all power from the
system, you must disconnect the power cord from the server. In systems
with multiple power supplies, you must disconnect all the power cords to
completely remove power from the system.
For use with Pentium II Xeon and Pentium III Xeon processor-based servers only
