Remove Power

To completely remove power from the server, disconnect the AC power cables from the back of the server.

This might be necessary to perform a cold reset, or to place it in a non-powered state for cold servicing.

1. Place the server in standby power mode.

   Use one of the power off methods. See Powering Off the server.

2. If necessary, do the following:
   1. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
   2. Position the CMA.
3. Access the back of the server.
4. Remove the power cord retainer clips by lifting them up to disengage them from the power cords.
   
5. To remove power from the server, disconnect the AC power cables from the power supplies.
   

   This action completely removes power from the server.

6. If you are performing a cold reset, wait at least 60 seconds before connecting the AC power cables to the power supplies.

   For information about cold resets, see Power Subsystem.
