Switching off the server

Switch the server off using the automatic shutdown function according to the following procedure:

1Execute the specified shut down process for the application software running on the operating system.Be sure to save the data used on the application software before quitting.

NOTE: As the server is switched off by the automatic shut- down function or ACPI function, the application software cur- rently in use is closed and unsaved data is deleted. The pro- gram that is not quit normally will show as a log error or Dr. Watson error.

If the automatic shutdown application is installed on a Win- dows 2000-based computer, pressing the power/sleep button always shuts down the computer, regardless of the setting of the ”Power Options” in ”Control Panel.”

2Press the power/sleep button to turn off the server.

Hold the power/sleep button 4 seconds or more. If the power/ sleep button is released within 4 seconds, the shutdown opera- tion is disturbed in the middle of the process and the server fails in shutdown.

When the operating system is Windows 2000, the system becomes ACPI sleep mode.

3Make sure that the power indicator ( ) is amber and the server operation is stopped normally. If the server fails in the normal stop operation, execute the forced stopping operation.

See “Abnormal system shutdown” on page 46.
