Step 2
Powering Down the Server
To power down the server:
1. Schedule downtime for the server upgrade.
2. Perform a system backup of your server according to your operating
system requirements.
3. Bring your server offline according to your network operating system
requirements.
4. Power down the server, then power down all peripheral devices.
CAUTION: Never power down a storage system unless the server controlling it
has been powered down first. Doing so causes the controller to mark the drives
as failed.
5. Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, then from the server.
6. Label and disconnect all cables connected to the back of the server.
