Bezel Door" in this chapter.
3. If the server is on, set the Power On/Standby button to standby.

WARNING: The system power in the server does not completely shut off
from the front panel Power On/Standby button. Moving the button from on
to standby leaves some portions of the hot-plug power supply and some
internal circuitry active. To shut off all power to the system, move the
button to standby and disconnect all AC power cords from the server.
