Procedure

Step 1

For each server in the chassis that you want to power off, check the color of the Power Status LED.

• Green indicates that the server is running and must be shut down before it can be safely powered off. Go to Step 2.

• Amber indicates that the server is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to Step 3.

Step 2

Press and release the Power button, then wait until the Power Status LED changes to amber.

The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode.

To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the

operating system.

Step 3

(Optional) If you are shutting down all blade servers in a chassis, disconnect the power cords from the chassis to completely

power off the servers.

Step 4

Remove the appropriate servers from the chassis.

Removing a Blade Server

Using UCS Manager, decommission the server before physically removing the server. To remove a blade server from the chassis,

follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Loosen the captive screw on the front of the blade.

Step 2

Remove the blade from the chassis by pulling the ejector lever on the blade until it unseats the blade server.

Step 3

Slide the blade part of the way out of the chassis, and place your other hand under the blade to support its weight.

Step 4

Once removed, place the blade on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately reinstalling it into another

slot.

Step 5

If the slot is to remain empty, install a blank faceplate (N20-CBLKB1) to keep dust out of the chassis.
