   4. Log in to the iDRAC interface and verify the node's service tag in the System Information.

2. Shut down the scale unit node.

   1. Once the drain is completed, select the node again, verify that the Operational State is Maintenance and select Shutdown.

      

   2. When prompted, select Yes to confirm the shutdown.
