Turning off the server
When you turn off the server and leave it connected to AC power, the server can
respond to requests from the IMM, such as a remote request to turn on the server.
While the server remains connected to AC power, one or more fans might continue
to run. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it from the power
source.
Important: To view the error LEDs on the system board, leave the server
connected to a power source.
Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server.

operating system.
