COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
1. Back up your server data.
2. Shut down the operating system in an orderly manner, as directed in
your operating system instructions.
3. Power down the server and remove the power cord.
IMPORTANT:
The system power in the ProLiant 3000 server does not
completely shut off with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two
positions of the switch function as ON and STANDBY, rather than ON and
OFF. The STANDBY position removes power from most of the electronics and
the drives but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry
remain active. Consequently, to completely remove all power from the
system, you must disconnect the power cord from the server. In systems
with multiple power supplies, you must disconnect all the power cords to
completely remove power from the system.
NOTE
: After you move the Power On/Standby switch to the Standby position,
it may take the operating system up to 30 seconds before shutting down the
power.
WARNING:
Before removing the server top panel, make sure
that the server is turned off and that the power cord is
disconnected from the electrical outlet.
4. Disconnect any other external equipment connected to the computer.
5. Loosen the top thumbscrew on the front of the unit using a T15 Torx
driver. See Figure 4-1.
6. Loosen the bottom thumbscrew. See Figure 4-1.
