Powering Down the Server
Before installing or removing options, prepare your server by following these
steps:
1. Back up your server data and record configuration information.
2. Shut down the operating system (OS) as directed in your OS
instructions.
3. Power down the server by pressing the power button on the front of the
server.
4. Remove the power cord.
5. Disconnect any external equipment connections from the server.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these directions could result in damage to
equipment or loss of information.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock or damage to the
equipment when installing an upgrade, make sure that the server is powered
down. Remove all AC power cords to completely disconnect power from the
system. The front panel power button may not completely shut down power to
the server.
