Remove Power

Use this procedure to completely remove power from the server. Changing the server from Main power mode to Standby power mode does not completely remove power from the server. If you need to completely remove power from the server to perform cold service or a cold reset or to place the server in a non-powered state, you must disconnect the AC power cables from the back of the server.

See Power Control, Shutdown, and Reset States.

1. Place the server in Standby power mode.

   Use one of the power off methods. See Powering Down the Server.

2. Access the back of the server.
3. To remove power from the server, lift the power cord retaining clips, and disconnect each AC power cable from the AC power block.

   This action completely removes power from the server.

   
   
   
4. 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 Control, Shutdown, and Reset States.
