The best way to shutdown or Reboot one of these servers is to access its GUI via a web browser.
Shutdown/Reboot
- Type the servers IP address in a web browser that is on the same network as the server.
- You will be prompted for a password, please contact SLI support if you do not remember the default password.
- Once logged into the GUI you can Shutdown or Reboot the server by using the drop down arrow next to the "Logout" button in the top right hand corner. Once you click on the dropdown arrow it will give you the option to Shutdown or Reboot.
- Once you choose Shutdown or Reboot you will be prompted to confirm the choice by typing in "Shutdown" or "Reboot".
Power On
- Ensure all JBODs are completely powered on FIRST and have come ready, usually indicated by blue LEDs on the drive cans and green LED on the power.
- To power the server back on simply hit the front power button or use the IPMI web browser to power the system back online (contract support for help using IPMI if you are not sure).
