Explains how to safely shut down the IEC6400 gateway using the power button, Cisco IMC GUI, or Cisco IMC CLI, including main and standby power modes.
The gateway can run in either of two power modes:
-
Main power mode - Power is supplied to all server components and any operating system on your drives can run.
-
Standby power mode - Power is supplied only to the service processor and certain components. It is safe for the operating system and data to remove power cords from the server in this mode.
After the IEC6400 gateway is shut down to standby power, electric current is still present in the IEC6400 gateway. To completely remove power as directed in some service procedures, you must disconnect all power cords from all power supplies in the server.
