Using the control panel power button to power off

By using the control panel power button to power off the server, you can initiate a delayed power off (DPO) or a fast power off (FPO).

Attention: Using the control panel power button to power off the system might cause unpredictable results in the data files, and the next IPL will take longer to complete.

Note: Some servers do not respond to the power-off sequence unless the system is in manual operating mode. If necessary, set the system operating mode to manual mode. See Putting the physical control panel in manual operating mode.
