2-5
To power down the server:
1.
Press the power button to toggle the server to standby. The power LED on the power
button changes from green to amber.
2.
Listen for the fan noise to stop to indicate that the server is powered down.
3.
Disconnect the power cord first from the AC outlet and then from the server. The power
LEDs turn off.
4.
Disconnect all remaining cables on the server rear panel, including cables extending from
external connectors on expansion boards.
5.
Remove the server from the rack and position it securely on a workbench or other solid
surface for stability and safety.
Access Panel
To access the system board, processor, memory modules, expansion slot, and other internal
components, remove the access panel. Observe the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING: The front panel Power On/Off switch does not completely shut off all
system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active
until AC power is removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the server without the access panel installed. The access panel is
required for proper airflow. Operating the server without the access panel prevents proper
airflow and results in improper cooling and possible thermal damage.
CAUTION:
Before removing the server access panel, be sure that the server is powered
down and that the power cord is disconnected from the server and the electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of damage to the system or expansion boards, remove all power
cords before installing or removing expansion boards. When the Power On/Off switch is in the
Off position, auxiliary power is still connected to the PCI expansion slot and may damage the
card.
CAUTION:
ESD can damage electronic components. Ensure proper grounding before
beginning any installation procedure.
