Applying Power to the HP Netserver
Powering-Up the Netserver
NOTE Turn on power to the monitor connected to the HP Netserver
before you power-on the Netserver. This allows proper
auto-configuration of video output of the Netserver as it boots
up.
1. Ensure the HP Netserver’s power cord is connected to the power source.
See Figure 1-3.
2. Press the Power push-button on the front control panel. See Figure 1-1.
When you press the power button on the control panel, 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 Netserver
1. Log off all users and, if necessary, backup files.
◊ Schedule the power down for a time when it will affect the fewest
users.
◊ If you will be doing any kind of 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’s control panel when prompted
by the operating system.
Normally this completes the power-down procedure.
