Turning off your server
Every time you turn off your server, first shut down the operating system. You
may lose data if you do not follow the correct procedure.

Windows dialog box opens. Click the arrow button to open the

list, click Shut down, then click OK.
- OR -
If your server is running a different operating system, see the operating
system’s documentation for instructions on shutting down the operating
system. Whenever possible, you should use the operating system’s shut
down procedure instead of pushing the power button.
2 If your server did not turn off automatically, press the power button. If
nothing happens when you press the power button, press and hold it for
five seconds and the server will turn off.
Warning The power button on the server does not turn off server
AC power. To remove AC power from the server, you must
unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or power
source. The power cord is considered the disconnect
device to the main (AC) power.
Warning If you routinely turn off your server (daily or weekly), do
not unplug the server or use the On/Off switch on the surge
protector. Regularly cutting off all power to your server may
cause the CMOS battery to fail prematurely.
