Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server

Tip If you have ordered a server with power supply redundancy (at least two power supplies), you do not have to power off the server to replace a power supply because they are redundant and hot-pluggable. The server hard drives are also hot-pluggable.

The server can run in two power modes:

Main power mode—Power is supplied to all server components and any operating system on your hard drives can run.

Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans and it is safe to power off the server from this mode.

You can invoke a graceful shutdown or an emergency shutdown (hard shutdown) by using either of the following methods:

Use the CIMC management interface. See either the Cisco UCS C-SeriesRack-Mount Server Configuration Guide or the Cisco UCS C-SeriesRack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide.

Use the Power button on the server front panel. To use the Power button, follow these steps:
