How to shut down and restart T310
Hello everyone,
We purchased a dental office that came with T310. This is out of warranty and service phone call with Dell is very expensive. We need this or a server on site for day to day operations. I am very new to using server. Firstly it is showing F1211 Raid Controller Battery on the display. Next, the start menu is not working - meaning when I click on start menu it doesn't do anything. Yes mouse is working fine because it can open folders on server. So in order to change the raid controller battery I need to do safe shut down. Do not want to do hard reset with power button and can't take a chance of loosing all the data. Please help. TIA.

Does these shut commands should be entered at DOS prompt? I tried while the server is on desktop but no use. TIA.

I tried to enter cmd prompt, either the search option or start button does not do anything after I click on them. So whats the next step?

As you are able to open folders using mouse, you can traverse to system32 folder under windows folder and open cmd file to open a command prompt.

Thanks everyone who suggested various options to shutdown my server. This opens up my next question - why is the 'Start' button on windows is not working either with the mouse or keyboard?

Hi, then could you please try to search something like this? This isn't a Dell material, so I'm just trying to give you an example. https://dell.to/3lGKtW5
