12 Intel Server Compute Blade SBX82 Installation and User’s Guide
Turning off the blade server
When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the SBCE unit. The blade
server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the
blade server. To remove all power from the blade server, you must remove it from the SBCE unit.
Shut down your operating system before you turn off the blade server. See your operating-system
documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.
The blade server can be turned off in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power-control button on the blade server behind the control panel door. See
“Understanding the control panel and LEDs” on page 13. This starts an orderly shutdown of the
operating system, if this feature is supported by your operating system.
✏ NOTE
After turning off the blade server, wait at least 5 seconds before you press the power-
control button to turn on the blade server again.
• If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the power-control button for
more than 4 seconds to turn off the blade server.
• The management module can turn off the blade server.
✏ NOTE
After turning off the blade server, wait at least 30 seconds for its hard disk drives or flash
drives to stop before you remove the blade server from the SBCE unit.
