Statement 14

•Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver

•Needle-nose pliers

•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap or other grounding equipment such as a grounded mat.

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-Series Rack-Mount Server

Configuration Guide or the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide.

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