Power down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of
critical server data and programs.
IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to
the system.
To power down the server, use one of the following methods:
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
•
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter
standby mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the
OS. 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 server
enters standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
Using a virtual power button selection through iLO
The following options are available when using a virtual power button selection through iLO:
•
Momentary press—Similar to press and release of the Power On/Standby button
•
Press and hold—Similar to the press and hold of the Power On/Standby button
•
Reset—A forced reboot that does not reach standby
Remove the server blank
CAUTION: Always install a server or server blank in each slot in the rack. Failure to do so
results in improper airflow that can lead to a decrease in thermal performance.
IMPORTANT: Server blanks do not engage the water wall as the servers do. When installing
a server blank, the locking lever should be open approximately 15 degrees, rather than 90
degrees as when installing a server.
