To log off, restart, shut down, or power down the system:
1.
Go to Start/Shut Down.
2.
To log off the operating system, click Close all programs and log in as a different user. To
restart the system, click Restart the computer.
3.
Click Yes to activate the selected shutdown option.
4.
You can turn off power to the system when prompted after the shutdown procedure completes.
When the system is running, you can restart the system or shut it down and power it off
completely. Wait at least 30 seconds before restarting the system. This allows the InterSite Server
Monitor software to function correctly, the power supply to stabilize, and the disk drives to stop
spinning.
To stop the system, perform an orderly shutdown and then turn the Power keyswitch to the left
(counter-clockwise) and hold for at least six seconds.
If external InterRAID disk cabinets are connected to the system, always power on or off the system
as follows:
♦
Turn power on to the InterRAID cabinets first, listen for the audible beep, and then turn on
power to the system base unit.
♦
Turn off power to the system base unit first (as described previously), and then turn power off
to the InterRAID cabinets. If you turn power off to the InterRAID cabinets first, the RAID
controller will read the drives in those cabinets as dead the next time you turn power on to the
system. If this happens, refer to the Mylex documentation for drive recovery procedures.
System Power, Startup, and Shutdown
When you connect the power cord from the InterServe 90 to an AC power outlet, auxiliary power
is applied to the system. Auxiliary power monitors the Power keyswsitch on the front of the
system. The Power keyswitch is on the upper right side of the InterServe 90, just above the
peripheral cage.
The Power keyswitch is not a traditional “on or off” power switch. Depending on the system’s
current power state, you can use the Power keyswitch to reset, start, or shut down the system. See
the following table for details on using the Power keyswitch.
