Hello Danito2,

System Power to the MSA 1000 does not shutoff completely with the power Switch. The 2 positions of the front panel power switch should be considered as ON & STANDBY, rather than ON & OFF. The STANDBY position removes power from most of the electronics & the drives, but positions of the power supply & some internal circuitry remain active. To remove all power from the system, you must disconnect the power cord from the storage system. In systems with multiple power supplies, you must disconnect all the power cords to remove power completely from the system.

Regards,
James.

If you want to shutdown msa for some maintenance activity you need to shutdwon your system on priority. the power off the msa

[Danito2]

Yes the shutdown is for maintenance operations.

Then my first step, is shutdown the machines connected Physichaly to msa, and the machines with mapped network drives to msa?

Thanks.
