Archive Engine (Generation 2) Power Button
The power button is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system.
Turning off system power with this button removes the main power, but keeps standby power
supplied to the system. You must unplug the system before servicing.
There are two power supplies in the Archive Engine. It is important to connect both power
supplies. It is recommended that each of the power supplies be attached to a separate UPS with
built in surge protection and line conditioning.

Spaces,” in the A3 Administrator’s Guide.
