Before removing covers at any time to work inside the system, observe these safety
guidelines.
1.
Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
2.
Power down the system:

logoff (if necessary) and exit the operating system. Successfully exiting the
operating system causes the following prompt to appear:

After this prompt appears, press and hold the Power button for several
seconds. Holding the Power button in powers down the server.
