Power off the server
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
disconnect the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal
circuitry remain active until the power cord is disconnected.
NOTE:
If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
1.
Back up the server data.
2.
Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
3.
If the server is installed in a rack, press the UID LED button on the front panel. Blue LEDs
illuminate on the front and rear panels of the server.
4.
Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in standby mode. When the server
activates standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
5.
If the server is installed in a rack, locate the server by identifying the illuminated rear UID LED
button.
6.
Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
SAS hard drive blank
CAUTION:
For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles,
expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the
amount of time the access panel is open.
Remove the component as indicated.
To replace the blank, slide the blank into the bay until it locks into place.
SAS/SATA hard drive
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
To remove the component:
1.
Determine the status of the drive from the hot-plug SAS hard drive LED combinations (
drive LED combinations” (page 87)
).
2.
Back up all server data on the hard drive.
3.
Remove the hard drive.
