Chapter 1 Setting Up the Sun Ultra 20 Workstation 1-9
1.6 Powering Off the Workstation
1. Save your data and close any open applications.
2. Read all of the following power-off options before powering off the workstation:
■Power off the workstation by using the operating system shutdown command or
menu option.
In most cases, this powers down the operating system and then turns off the
power to the workstation.
■If the workstation power is not shut off using the operating system command or
this command is not available, press and release the power button (see FIGURE 1-3
for location).
This initiates an orderly shutdown of the operating system and powers off the
workstation.
Caution – To avoid data loss, use the preceding two options whenever possible.
■If the workstation is not shut off, press and hold the power button for
approximately four seconds.
This shuts down the power to the workstation 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 workstation, see “Troubleshooting” in
the Sun Ultra 20 Workstation User Guide, 819-2146, for more options.
Note – After powering off the workstation, wait at least four seconds before
powering on the workstation again.
