About this task
Before powering down the system for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, back up critical system
data and programs.
Before performing chassis maintenance, shut down all cartridges installed in the system.
Procedure
• Use one of the following methods to power down the system:

4 seconds to force the system to power down.
This method forces the system to power down without properly exiting applications and the OS. If
