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 5.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
Removing the server
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.
IMPORTANT: The left and right sides of the chassis are oriented 180° from each other. Components
that are installed on one side of the chassis must be turned 180° when they are installed on the opposite
side.
Procedure
1. Power down the server ( Power down the server on page 28).
