The SAC interface provides a text-based administration tool that is available from the system console. For example.

Loading.: Windows Server 2003, Datacenter

Starting: Windows Server 2003, Datacenter

Starting Windows...

********************************************************************************

Computer is booting, SAC started and initialized.

Use the "ch -?" command for information about using channels.

Use the "?" command for general help.

For details see the SAC online help (type ? at the SAC> prompt)

5.Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces when finished using them.

Press Control-Bto exit the console and return to the MP Main menu. To exit the iLO 2 MP, type X at the MP Main menu.

CAUTION: Do not shut down Windows Server 2003 SAC restart or shutdown commands under normal circumstances. Issuing restart or shutdown at the SAC> prompt causes the system to restart or shut down immediately and can result in the loss of data.

Use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down gracefully.

To shut down Windows Server 2003 use one of the following methods.

•“Shutting Down Windows from the Start Menu” (page 134)

•“Shutting Down Windows from the Command Line” (page 134)
