Applying Power to the HP Netserver
Powering-Up the HP Netserver
1. Turn on power to the monitor connected to the HP Netserver.
Turning on the monitor first ensures that video output auto-configures
properly as the Netserver boots up.
2. Press the Power push-button on the front control panel. See Figure 1-1.
When you press the power button, the Netserver powers up and loads the
operating system. The system runs a set of power-on self tests (POST)
during this process. For details refer to Chapter 12, "Troubleshooting."
Powering-Down the HP Netserver
1. Log off all users and, if necessary, back up files.
◊ Schedule the power-down for a time when the Netserver being down
will affect the fewest users.
◊ If you will be performing a hardware or software upgrade, ensure the
Netserver’s data has been backed up.
◊ Follow instructions in your network operating system (NOS)
documentation to shut down all networking software and applications.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the Netserver until the power cable is disconnected from the
rear panel.
2. Press the power switch on the HP Netserver control panel when prompted
by the operating system.
Normally this completes the power-down procedure.
