Power options on a dedicated server

What are the power options for a dedicated server, and what do they do

Where can you find the power option?

You can find those power options by going to our Metal interface, then selecting your server from the list:

Then clicking Power Options on the right top:

Stop [1]

The Stop power option will gracefully shut your system down. This is the equivalent of the shutdown dommand.

Reboot [2]

The Reboot option will gracefully shut your server down, and turn it back on, just like the reboot command.

Reset [3]

The Reset option will forcefully shut your system down, then turn it back on. The forceful shutdown acts like unplugging the power cable from your server. Use this option only if your system is unresponsive.
