Powering Off a Secondary Partition

Attention: Powering off a secondary partition will not power off any expansion
tower(s) that the partition owns. If it is necessary to power off the expansion
tower(s) owned by the secondary partition, use the "Expansion Tower and SPCN
Controlled Expansion Unit Power Procedure". Power off the secondary partition(s)
before powering off the expansion tower(s) owned by the logical partition(s).
If the secondary partition is operating under Dedicated Service Tools (DST), power
off the logical partition by selecting the Power Off the System option on the Start a
Service Tool (SST) display of the secondary partition's console.
Note: To locate the secondary partition's console or alternative console, see iSeries
If the secondary partition is operating under OS/400, from the logical partition's
console enter the PWRDWNSYS command to power off the secondary partition.

Procedure
Attention: If there is an SPD migrated tower on the HSL loop with this tower,
then follow this procedure very carefully. This procedure will help you determine
if the SPD migrated tower is the next tower (leading link) or the previous tower
(trailing link) from this tower on the loop. Powering down a tower when the next
tower or the previous tower on the loop is an SPD migrated tower will cause a
machine check that will crash the entire system.
