24 TITAN SILICONSERVER HARDWARE MANUAL
Powering Off the Server
To reset or shutdown the Server
The server can be reset or shutdown if a manual reboot is necessary.
Using the SMU, select Reset/Shutdown from the SiliconServer Admin page.
The Reset/Shutdown page has two options to power-off the server:
•The Reset button will close down all processes on the server and all connections from other
hosts. It will restart the server automatically which may take approximately five minutes.
Check the Both box to reset both cluster nodes if configured as a cluster.
•The Shutdown button will shutdown everything running on the SMU server, close all
connections, and bring the SMU server to a state in which it may be safely powered down.
Check the Both box to shutdown both cluster nodes if configured as a cluster.
To power down the Server for Shipment
1. From the console, run the command shutdown –-ship.
2. Wait for the console to output the message Information: Server has shut down.
3. Power down the Titan server by switching off both PSU modules.
4. Check that the NVRAM status LED on the FSB module is off.
The server is now fully shutdown.
5. If the NVRAM status LED is On (either green or amber), then remove both PSU modules
simultaneously for at least 10 seconds and replace.
6. If the Titan server fails to shutdown properly or to verify that the NVRAM has not entered the
battery powered back-up state when the PSUs are switched off, remove both PSU modules.
However, this procedure should be followed whenever a Titan SiliconServer is to be powered down and
will be left off more than a day. For instance, this is not necessary if the system is power-cycled.
Complete battery discharge can also happen if the server is shutdown correctly but left in an
unpowered state for more than 20 days, with the PSU modules plugged in. If the server is to be left
powered off for any significant period of time, it is recommended that the PSU modules are removed
from the chassis.
For long term storage of PSU spares, please contact BlueArc Global Services.
