COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
If you insert a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart CD in the CD-
ROM drive prior to powering on the server, the system ROM will boot to that
utility. If the system ROM does not detect one of those CDs, you will be
prompted for your intended operating system. The system will reboot if any
operating system-dependent configurations have changed with the new
operating system selection. If the selected operating system-dependent
configurations are the same as the current configurations, the system will boot
normally. If you enter a wrong choice, you can change your operating system
selection on subsequent reboots.
Powering Down the Server
The system power in the ProLiant 6000 does not shut off completely with the
front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two positions of the switch function
as ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and OFF. The STANDBY position
removes power from most of the electronics and the drives, but portions of the
power supply, the Integrated Management Display (IMD), the system interlock
circuitry, and some internal circuitry remain active. To remove all power from
the system completely, you must disconnect all power cords from the server.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the equipment, disconnect power from the
server by unplugging all power cords from either the
electrical outlet or the server.
NOTE
: Windows NT users may use the Compaq Power Down Manager to
power down their server. For information refer to the Server Resource
Management CD and search for Windows NT Utilities. Utilities will also be
provided for Novell NetWare starting with SmartStart 4.20. For more
information, refer to the Compaq Support Software for Novell Products
diskettes (NSSD).
