Powering off the server blade
Before powering down the server blade for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of
critical server data and programs.
Use one of the following methods to power off the server blade:
NOTE:
To power off blades in a conjoined configuration, only power off the Monarch blade.
• Use a virtual power button selection through the iLO 3 GUI (Power Management, Power & Reset) or
the iLO 3 TUI commands.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade
enter standby mode.
• Press and release the Monarch power button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade enter
standby mode.
• Press and hold the Monarch power button for more than 4 seconds to force the server blade to enter
standby mode.

the OS. It provides an emergency shutdown method in the event of a hung application.
