server while the server is operating. This may result in the loss of data or prevent data from being saved
in the ETERNUS AF.
• When using a power synchronized unit for power control, turn off the power of the ETERNUS AF via the
power synchronized unit. When a power synchronized unit is connected, the power of the ETERNUS AF is
automatically turned on because the power synchronization function is activated.
• If the REMOTE LED on the ETERNUS AF650 S3 is green, turn off the ETERNUS AF650 S3 by linking with
the server. Pressing the Power switch does not turn off the ETERNUS AF650 S3.
• To turn off the ETERNUS AF, use the Power switch, a power synchronized unit, ETERNUS Web GUI, or
ETERNUS CLI. If any other method is used to turn off the ETERNUS AF, the replacement cycle for the
battery is shortened significantly because the battery continues to charge and discharge.
• After power-off, wait for about one minute before turning power on again.
