Turning Off the DXi6900
Before shutting down the DXi6900, make sure that all backup and replication jobs are finished, and that
space reclamation activity is complete.
1. Shut down the system from the remote management console using the
Shutdown
option on the
Utilities > Reboot & Shutdown
page.
Note:
Shutting down the system can take up to 15 minutes. Only the Node will completely shut
down.
2. After the Node shuts down, turn off both power switches on the back of each Array module (RBOD).
Wait until the seven segment display on the rear of the module turns off.
3. Turn off both power switches on the back of each Expansion module (EBOD).

add a licensed feature.
Node Serial Number
You need this number for a Node replacement component.
Expansion Module (RBOD) Serial Number

You can locate the system serial number on the

You can also locate the system serial number, the Node serial number, and the Array and Expansion
