The method for switching off the server varies depending on the 
operating system used. Check the operating system and switch the 
server off using the normal method or use the automatic shutdown 
function.
Every time the server is to be switched off, use only one of the 
methods mentioned above. Using both methods simultaneously, 
will cause the server to fail during its normal shutdown operation.

If no automatic shutdown function is installed in the operating sys-
tem, switch the server off by using the normal shutdown procedure 
as follows:

1 Prepare the server system for switching it off by the normal 

method.

Method to shut down the operating system
See “User’s Manual for the Operating System.”

2 Press the power/sleep button.

The automatic shutdown function is only available when the 
server runs under the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating 
system. If the power/sleep button is pressed and held for more than 
4 seconds on another operating system, the server is immediately 
switched off without the preliminary process necessary for shut-
down. In this case the exclusive automatic shutdown software is 
not installed in the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating sys-
tem, no automatic shutdown operation is executed and the server 
is switched off without the preliminary process as the power/sleep 
button is pressed. 

When the automatic shutdown function is not used, be sure to exe-
cute the preliminary process required for quitting the operating 
system before pressing the power/sleep button.
