You may not need to turn the system off to resolve system hangs or similar
problems. You can often recover from hangs or other problems by pressing
the Reset button on the operator control panel or by issuing a reset command
at the remote management console prompt.
CAUTION: Pressing the Reset button reinitializes the system and causes you to
lose the applications you are running.
Do the following steps to turn the system off:
1. Shut down the operating system by following the instructions in the
operating system documentation.
2. Press the On/Off button on the front of the system unit or issue a reset
command at the remote management console prompt.
If you need to turn off your system for an extended period, first turn off power
as described above. Next, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
