Preparation procedures
Remove the bezel
To access the front panel components, unlock and then remove the bezel.
Power down the system
IMPORTANT: When the system is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
Before powering down the system for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical system data
and programs.
To power down the system, use one of the following methods:
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the system enters standby mode.
•
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the system to enter standby mode.
This method forces the system to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If an
application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
•
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 5.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the system enters standby
mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the system is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
Extend the front drive cages out of the chassis
The front drive cages are secured to the chassis by shipping screws upon product delivery. The location and number of
these shipping screws depend on how the system was shipped during product delivery. All installed shipping screws will
be indicated by a removable label. Remove these shipping screws before extending the front drive cages for the first time.
