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.

This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives, power input
modules, and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
