Removal and Replacement Procedures
CAUTION:
If the Integrated Administrator cannot perform a graceful shutdown of the
enclosure and all server blades, after five minutes, the Integrated Administrator will perform
an emergency shutdown of the enclosure and all server blades. Performing an emergency
shutdown on the enclosure may result in the loss of any unsaved data on all server blades in
that enclosure.
Pressing the Enclosure Power Button
You can also perform a graceful shutdown of a ProLiant BL e-Class enclosure and all the
server blades by pressing the enclosure power button on the rear of the enclosure. If the
operating system is Microsoft
Windows
2000 or Windows Server 2003, the enclosure
automatically performs a graceful shutdown of all server blades, and then removes power
from the enclosure. If the operating system is RedHat Linux, you must have the Linux Health
driver installed in order for the server blades to shut down gracefully.
