Switching off the server

Logon by a user without shutdown rights

If an unauthorized user logs on, the automatic shutdown function with the power/sleep button is disabled.

If the server enters into this mode, log on to the server as the system administrator and then carry out the normal manual shutdown operation and switch off the power. The automatic shutdown function recovers as the system is restarted.

You can avoid this difficulty by:

cOperating the power/sleep button after log-off operation.

cProhibit “Guest” log-ons or let all users including “Guests” have the right to shut down the server.

The application in operation

An application in operation is forcedly closed by the shutdown operation with the power/sleep button. When shutting down the server in this way, the data in use will not be saved after shutdown.

Load to the system

If the server is shut down by the power/sleep button operation when the system is heavily loaded, the shutdown operation does not start immediately after the power/sleep button is released. The waiting time depends on the degree of system load. In normal circumstances this takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute to start the shutdown operation. In this case, wait a while.
