# Power options on a dedicated server

### Where can you find the power option?

You can find those power options by going to our [Metal](https://metal.crunchbits.com/) interface, then selecting your server from the list:

### Stop \[1]

The `Stop` power option will gracefully shut your system down. This is the equivalent of the `shutdown` dommand.&#x20;

### Reboot \[2]

The `Reboot` option will gracefully shut your server down, and turn it back on, just like the `reboot` command.&#x20;

### 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.&#x20;
