			{{note\|1=If you just want to reboot your system, you do not need to use the dashboard.}}

			You can reboot your server from inside the operating system. If you power off the server, the ''Anvil!'' will boot it back up for you. You only need to follow this if you want to shut the server down and have it stay off. This might be the case if you're planning to completely power off your ''Anvil!'' for a prolonged power outage, for example.

			So, if you want to power off your server and keep it off, please keep reading.

			{{warning\|1=Please read the next section carefully.}}

			The ''Anvil!'' draws a very strong line between it and the servers that run on it. There is no way for it to "look inside" any of the servers to see what is happening. So when you ask the Anvil! to shut down a server, it will initiate the shut and then start a two minute timer. If the server hasn't shut off after two minutes, it treats the server as failed and forces it off.

			The concern here is how windows holds off installing some updates until the shut-down starts. So windows could well take over two minutes to install the queued up updates.

			So with windows machines, it is recommended that you set automatic updates to download, but not automatically install. This way, you can install updates and reboot at your leisure. Whether on an ''Anvil!'' or not, Windows 7 may automatically reboot your machine to install updates, so this is a good practice in any case. If you do this, then orderly shut down of the server from the dashboard should always be safe.

			If you leave automatic updates running though;

			Always log into windows and make sure there are no pending updates. If there are, reboot the server from within the OS so that windows can finish the install. Wait for the system to boot back up and make sure a second reboot is not needed. Once there are no pending updates, it is safe to proceed.

			When you are ready to shut down the server, click on ''Orderly Shut Down'' beside the server. Confirm the action and then you should see windows shutting down.

			When you want to power the server back up, click on ''Boot Up'', confirm the action and you should be on your way!
