Stop all applications that are running on the server.
Stop the operating system and server by choosing from the following options:
- If you have an HMC, shut down all logical partitions and the server. For instructions, see HMC and system power-on and power-off procedures. Then continue with step 5.
- If you do not have an HMC, continue with the next step.
Stop the system. For instructions, see Stopping a system that is not managed by an HMC or an SDMC.
Unplug the ac power cord and then plug it back in.
Start the server. The service processor is reset. This ends the procedure.
