Switching off the server |
The method for switching off the server varies depending on the operating system used. Check the operating system and switch the server off using the normal method or use the automatic shutdown function.
Every time the server is to be switched off, use only one of the methods mentioned above. Using both methods simultaneously, will cause the server to fail during its normal shutdown operation.
Normal shutdownIf no automatic shutdown function is installed in the operating sys- tem, switch the server off by using the normal shutdown procedure as follows:
1Prepare the server system for switching it off by the normal method.
Method to shut down the operating system
See “User’s Manual for the Operating System.”
2Press the power/sleep button.
Using the automatic shutdown functionThe automatic shutdown function is only available when the server runs under the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system. If the power/sleep button is pressed and held for more than 4 seconds on another operating system, the server is immediately switched off without the preliminary process necessary for shut- down. In this case the exclusive automatic shutdown software is not installed in the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating sys- tem, no automatic shutdown operation is executed and the server is switched off without the preliminary process as the power/sleep button is pressed.
When the automatic shutdown function is not used, be sure to execute the preliminary process required for quitting the operating system before pressing the power/sleep button.
