Powering Down The Server - HP ProLiant ML370 Maintenance And Service Manual

Powering Down the Server

System power for the server does not completely shut off with the front panel Power
On/Standby button. The button toggles between on and standby modes, rather than on and
off. The standby position removes power from most electronics and the drives, but portions
of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove all
power from the system, you must disconnect all power cords from the server.
Rack Server
To power down the rack server:
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed in the operating system instructions.
3. Press the Power On/Standby button.

4. Be sure that the system power LED on the front panel, near the Power On/Standby
button, is amber and that the fan noise stops.
5. Disconnect all AC power cords from the AC outlets and then from the server.
