The Server Power Management dialog opens. This dialog lists all servers that are present in the system.
Step 4
In the
Server Power Management
dialog, select one of the following buttons for the server that you want to shut down:
To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the
operating system. Do not power off a node if any firmware or BIOS updates are in progress.
Note
• Shut Down—Performs a graceful shutdown of the operating system.
• Power Off—Powers off the chosen node, even if tasks are running on that server.
It is safe to remove the node from the chassis when the Chassis Status pane shows the Power State as Off for the node
that you are removing.
The physical power button on the node also turns amber when it is safe to remove the node from the chassis.
