you plan to power off.
The PS command enables you to check the status of the cabinet, system backplane, MP Core
I/O, PCI power domains — or bricks — in the I/O card cage, and cells.
5. Use the MP Command menu PE command to power off the hardware component.
Using the PE command, you can power on or off the cabinet (including all cells and I/O in
the cabinet), individual cells, or PCI power domains (bricks).

the front panel power switch.

into. Because of power redundancy capabilities, it is important that each power cord plugs
into its proper receptacle.
Also, ensure that the cabinet power has been turned off before disconnecting any power
cords.
