Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Server
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.
To turn off the server:
1 See the operating system’s documentation or online help for instructions on shutting
down the operating system. Whenever possible, you should use the operating system’s
shut down procedure instead of pressing the power button.
2 If your server did not turn off automatically, press and hold the power button until
the server turns 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 both
AC power cords from the wall outlet or power source. The power
cords are considered the disconnect device to the main (AC) power.
Caution
If you routinely turn off your server (daily or weekly), do not unplug
the server or use the On/Off switch on the UPS. Regularly cutting
off all power to your server may cause the CMOS battery to fail
prematurely.
