relocate the director.

Power-cycling the director resets all logic cards, executes POSTs,
and interrupts port operation. When performing a power cycle,
wait approximately 30 seconds before switching power on.
◆
When the director is powered off, the operation of attached Fibre
Channel devices is disrupted. Do not power off the director
unless directed to do so by a procedural step or the next level of
support.
CAUTION
!
Warn administrators and users currently operating devices that are
attached to the director that it is going off line and that
communications will disrupt. Also, request that the devices
affected by an interruption of data flow be set off line.
Procedure To switch the power off, follow these steps:
1. Notify the customer the director will be powered off. Ensure that
the customer’s system administrator quiesces Fibre Channel
frame traffic through the director and sets attached devices off
line.
2. Set the director off line. For instructions, refer to Setting the Online
State on page 7-8.
3. At the bottom rear of the director, set the power switch (circuit
breaker) to the down (off) position. (Refer to Figure 2-2 on
page 2-4 for switch location.)
