Powering Down the Server
The system power in the Compaq ProLiant DL580 server 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 and some internal circuitry remain active.
To remove all power from the system, you must disconnect all power cords
from the server using the following procedure:
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
your server. For information, refer to the NTREADME.HLP file on diskette 1 of the NTSSD.
1.
Press the Power On/Standby switch to standby mode.
2.
Verify that the system LED on the front panel, located near the Power
On/Standby switch, turns off and that all fans stop spinning.
3.
Disconnect all power cords from the server to disable all power to the
server.
The server is now powered down.
