System Shut-Down

This chapter describes the procedures for shutting down the operating environment and powering down the Netra 20 server.

Powering Down the System

1. Notify users that the system will be powered down.

2. If necessary, back up the system and data files.

3. Halt the operating environment (see TABLE 8-1).

4. Wait for the system halt message and the ok prompt to appear on the system console.

5. Power off the system (see TABLE 8-2).

Note - Step 4 and Step 5 may proceed automatically, depending on the command you use to halt the operating environment in Step 3.

6. Disconnect the power to any peripherals, console or terminal, and external storage devices.

The procedures for shutting down the operating environment are shown in TABLE 8-1.
