Turning Off The Blade Server - IBM BladeCenter HS22V Installation And User Manual

Turning off the blade server

Use this information to turn off the blade server.
When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the
BladeCenter unit. The blade server can respond to requests from the service
processor, such as a remote request to turn on the blade server. To remove all
power from the blade server, you must remove it from the BladeCenter unit. Shut
down the operating system before you turn off the blade server. See the
operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the
operating system.
The blade server can be turned off in any of the following ways:
v You can press the power-control button on the blade server (see "Blade server
controls and LEDs" on page 13). This starts an orderly shutdown of the
operating system, if this feature is supported by the operating system.
v If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the
power-control button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the blade server.
v The management module can turn off the blade server through the
Advanced-Management-Module Web interface. For additional information, see
the IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module User's Guide or go to
http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/ for more information.
