Turning off the server

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

To turn off the server in Windows NT:

1

Click

Start

, then select

Shut down the computer?

, then

Shut Down

.

2

Click

OK

. The operating system shuts down. When you see a message

saying

It is now safe to turn off your computer

, turn off the server by pressing

the power button.

By default, you must hold the power button in for four seconds to turn
the server off. BIOS Setup provides an option to set the power button to
turn the power off immediately when pressed.

3

Turn off the monitor and peripherals.

Important

For all operating systems, refer to the appropriate
operating system software manual for specific instructions.

Caution

When you turn the server off, some electric current still
flows through it. Before opening the server case or
connecting or removing any peripherals, turn off the server,
then unplug the power cord.

Important

For other operating systems, such as Windows 2000 or
Novell Netware, refer to the appropriate operating system
software manual for specific instructions. Some operating
systems will bypass the power button and turn the server
off under software control.
