Proper way to power off a K5000 Premiere Server?

This might seem like a silly question, but I want to move my K5000 to a different rack, but I don't know how to gracefully shut down the server. Is this even possible? I only see an option to reboot it in the web interface.

I suppose I could simply unplug it, but as it's in the middle of importing content from a disc vault, this seems like it could lead to data corruption.
 
Thank you. It seems odd that this wouldn't cause data corruption in some way, while the server might be writing data as you hit the off switch, but thanks for your input.
 
The filesystem and the database both use the same techniques that enterprise servers use for data robustness. Basically, anything that was partially written when a server shuts down is just discarded after the system starts up again, rather than leaving potentially incomplete/corrupt data in place.
