1.7Powering Off the Server

1.Save your data and close any open applications.

2.Read all of the following power-off options before powering off the server:

■Power off the server by using the operating system shutdown command or menu option.

In most cases, this powers off the operating system then turns off the power to the server.

■If the server power does not shut off through the operating system command or this command is not available, press and release the power button (location shown in FIGURE 1-16).

This initiates an orderly shutdown of the operating system and powers off the server.

Caution – To avoid data loss, use the options in the first two bullets whenever possible.

■If the server does not shut off, press and hold the power button for approximately 4 seconds. See FIGURE 1-16.

This shuts down the power to the server but does not initiate an orderly shutdown of the system. This method could result in data loss.

If the preceding options fail to power off the server, see the Troubleshooting section of the Sun Fire X2100 Server User Guide, 819-3721, for more options.

Note – After powering off the server, wait at least four seconds before powering on the server again.
