Once the diagnostics are completed, you can remove the TTY terminal.
However, do not disconnect the terminal while the system is running.
Before turning off the system power, you must halt the operating system. See
the Preface, "When You Need Help with UNIX Commands," to find references
to help with the following commands or system administration procedures.
Caution – To avoid damaging internal circuits, do not disconnect or plug in
!
any cable while power is applied to the system.
To shut down the system and give users a shutdown warning:
1. Back up the system files and data to tape, if necessary.
2. Notify users that the system is going down.
3. Halt the system using the appropriate commands.
4. Wait for the system-halted message and the boot monitor prompt.
5. Turn the key switch on the front panel of the server to the Standby
position (fully counterclockwise).
6. Turn the AC power switch on the system rear off.
For more information on system administration (such as methods for shut-
down and backup) See the Preface, "When You Need Help with UNIX
Commands" for references to documentation that describes these procedures.
