Powering Off A Server Blade - Hitachi Compute Blade 2500 Getting Started Manual

Powering off a server blade

To stop the system unit, power off the server blade that is running. Shutting
down the running OS also powers off the server blade. You can also use the
management module or remote console to power off the server blade. This
operation also shuts down the OS at the same time. You can power off the
server blade from the Web console or CLI console.
This section describes the procedure for powering off a server blade that is
running in the Basic mode. For details on how to power off a server blade
that is running in LP mode, see the Hitachi Compute Blade 2500 Series
Logical partitioning manager User Guide.

software to power the blade off.
