Shutting down and restarting the BladeCenter QS20

Always shutdown and restart a BladeCenter QS20 that has been booted to the Linux^® prompt with one of the following commands from a Linux shell on the BladeCenter QS20:

# shutdown -g0 -i0 -y
# halt
# reboot
# shutdown -r now

Do not use the Blade Center Management Module to power down or restart the Blade (using Blade Tasks → Power/Restart → checkmark the blade → Power Off Blade / Restart Blade ) as this can result in a damaged file system: the Blade Center will power off the BladeCenter QS20 without first notifying the operating system.
