HP ProIiant BL2x220c G6 Server Blade Maintenance and Serivce Guide

Removal and replacement procedures 23
• Press and release the server A and server B Power On/Standby buttons.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server blade enters
standby mode.
• Press and hold the server A and server B Power On/Standby buttons for more than 4 seconds to force
the server blade to shut down.
This method forces the server blade to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the
OS. It provides an emergency shutdown method in the event of a hung application.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or the operating system, always power down both
server A and server B before removing the server blade from the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: When the server blade is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided.
To remove all power from the server blade, remove the server blade from the enclosure.
After initiating a virtual power down command, be sure that both server A and server B are in standby mode
by observing that the system power LEDs are amber.

before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
