Powering Down the Server
System power in servers does not completely shut off with the front panel Power On/Standby
switch. The switch toggles between on and standby modes, rather than on and off. The
standby position removes power from most electronics and the drives, but portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove all power
from the system, disconnect all power cords from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, remove the
power cord to completely disconnect power from the system.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, ensure
that only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more
than one component is extended for any reason.
WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer components in a vertical
rather than a horizontal plane, you must take precautions to provide for rack stability
and safety to protect both personnel and property. Heed all cautions and warnings
throughout the installation instructions that came with the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: If the
server is removed from the rack for device accessibility, remove the server from the
rack and place it on a sturdy table or workbench. Refer to the
Compaq Setup and
Installation Guide
for further information on working with racks.
CAUTION:
The system power in the server does not completely shut off from the front
Power On/Standby switch. Moving the switch from on to standby leaves some portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry active. Disconnect all power cords from the server to
remove all power from the system.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge may damage electronic components. Be sure you are
properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. For more information, see
“Electrostatic Discharge Information” earlier in this chapter.
