Remove Power Completely

Powering the server module from full power mode to standby power mode does not completely remove power from the server. If you need to completely remove power from the server module to perform a cold reset or to place it in an non-powered state, disengage the server module from the power connections on the chassis mid-plane by partially removing it.

Before You Begin

• This procedure is performed locally requiring physical access to the server.

1. Place the server module in standby power mode.

   See Powering Down the Server Module.

2. To unlock the server module ejector arms, squeeze together the green tabs on the ends of ejector arms.
3. To disengage the server module from the chassis internal connector, rotate both ejector arms away from the server module at the same time until they are fully extended.

   This action disengages the server module, places it in a no-power state, and leaves it protruding from the front of the chassis approximately three inches.

4. If you are performing a cold reset wait at least 60 seconds before reengaging the server module and chassis backplane connectors.
