Removal and replacement procedures 27
Power down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical
server data and programs.
IMPORTANT:
When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the
system.
To power down the server, use one of the following methods:
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby
mode.
•
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter
standby mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS.
If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
•
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
Extend the server from the rack
IMPORTANT:
The requirement of extending or removing the server from the rack when
performing installation and maintenance procedures depends on the rail system used:
•
If using a ball-bearing rail system, you can perform most installations and maintenance by
simply extending the server from the rack.
•
If using a friction rail system, to perform installations or maintenance that requires access panel
removal, remove the server from the rack.
