Power procedures

This section describes how to power on an IBM® Netezza® system and how to power-off the system. Typically, you would only power off the system if you are moving the system physically within the data center, or in the event of possible maintenance or emergency conditions within the data center.

The instructions to power on or off an IBM Netezza 100 system are available in the Site Preparation and Specifications: IBM Netezza 100 Systems.

Note: To power cycle a Netezza system, you must have physical access to the system to press power switches and to connect or disconnect cables. Netezza systems have keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) units that you can use to enter administrative commands on the hosts.
