HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

Removal and replacement procedures 26
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS.
If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
• Use a virtual power button selection through HP iLO.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
Extend the server from the rack
NOTE: If the optional cable management arm option is installed, you can extend the server
without powering down the server or disconnecting peripheral cables and power cords. These
steps are only necessary with the standard cable management solution.
1. Power down the server (on page 25).
2. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords.
3. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews.
4. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is
adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release
latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
5. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server into the rack:
