Best practices recommend that the compute node is turned off before you install
and connect a second Expansion Shelf. A soft shutdown preserves data and
functionality of the compute node. The addition of a new Expansion Shelf to an
operating compute node can cause the Primary Shelf to shutdown unless the soft
shutdown procedure is performed. After the compute node is shut down, the Primary
Shelf is also shut down.
Warning: You should never perform a hard shutdown by using the power button
to turn off the NetBackup Appliance. Using the power button to turn off the
NetBackup Appliance can cause data corruption to occur.
