DR Series System: Proper Shut Down and Start Up

Before you attempt to remove or replace any hardware component in the DR Series system, ensure that you observe the following best practices for properly shutting down and starting up the system.
  • NOTE: To shutdown the DR Series system using a UPS after a power loss, refer to the following article for information on how to do this using the shutdown command in the IPMI interface: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps4q04-20040204-murphy.pdf.
  1. Power off the DR Series system by selecting Shutdown in the System Configuration page. For more information, see Shutting Down the DR Series System . Another method you can use to shut down the system is the DR Series system CLI command, system --shutdown.
  2. Allow the DR Series system to fully complete its power-down process. When the power-down process has completed, the Power Supply status indicator is unlit.
  3. Disconnect the DR Series system power cables from the electrical power outlet.
  4. Wait an additional period of time (up to 10 minutes), and/or verify that all of the green and amber NVRAM LEDs on the rear panel of the system chassis are unlit.
    • NOTE: If you do not allow the NVRAM super capacitor sufficient time to discharge, the NVRAM status will report DATA LOSS when the DR Series system is subsequently powered up.
  5. Unlatch the latch release lock and slide the DR Series system cover back and away to gain entry to the appliance internal components. To gain entry to the interior of the DR Series system, remove the cover. For more information, see the procedures in the Dell DR Series System Owner’s Manual .
  6. Remove and replace the system hardware components as needed.
  7. Replace the cover, reconnect the system power cables to the electrical power outlet.
  8. Power on the DR Series system by pressing the power-on indicator/power button.
