Turning Off Your System - HPE AlphaServer 300 User Manual

Turning Off Your System

Before turning off your system, make sure to save and close all open files. If you turn the
system off without saving and closing files, you might lose some or all of your work.
Perform the following steps to turn off your system:
1. Close any application data files you have open as well as any applications you have
running. Most application programs prompt you to save the information before
closing.
2. Shut down the operating system with the appropriate command from Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Operating System Shutdown
Operating System
Microsoft Windows NT
Digital UNIX
OpenVMS
3. Wait for the operating system to complete the shutdown process. For OpenVMS and
Digital UNIX, the SRM console prompt (>>>) is displayed. Microsoft Windows NT
displays a window indicating it is safe to turn off or restart the system.
4. Do not turn off power to your system and peripherals until the shutdown sequence has
completed.
