Turning Off The Server - IBM 7383 Installation And Service Manual

Turning off the server

Use this information to turn off the server.
About this task
When you turn off the server and leave it connected to input power, the server can
respond to requests to the service processor (the integrated management module),
such as a remote request to turn on the server. While the server remains connected
to input power, one or more fans might continue to run. To remove all power from
the server, you must disconnect it from the power source.
Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the
server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting
down the operating system.
