That was pointed out to me. I'm ashamed to say this, but I didn't actually look at the documentation before I asked. It was one of those "I know how to do this, I can just power everything off, but I wonder if..." situations that you run into every day. :)

Our customers are more demanding. Plus, following the documented procedure gives us plenty of time to quadruple check our cabling. I'd just as soon not be under any pressure while cabling up a new shelf.
Thanks.
