Powering Down the Server
Determine how you want to power down the server by reviewing the options in the following
table.
Note -
Some server components are hot-pluggable, such as storage drives, power supplies, fan
modules, and M.2 flash SSDs. Components that are hot-pluggable do not require the server to
be powered down when performing service procedures.
