+ * Logging into bbn-hn and shutting it down was successful, and the KVM thinks it's off now.
+ * However, of course i couldn't login to bbn-w1 as myself, because the LDAP server is now down.
+
+I clarified with people that it's fine to shut down the workers first like normal people, so i did that:
+ * Boot up bbn-hn again
+ * Login to each worker console and shut down the workers
+   * Incidentally, i noticed that the console keyboard is a bit sticky.  I sometimes get duplicated characters
+   * bbn-w9 and bbn-w10 were down, so i didn't do anything to them
+ * Login to bbn-hn console and shut it down
+ * Powered off the iSCSI using the two switches on the back
+ * Powered off dataplane switch, then control switch, by yanking the cables
+ * Powered off the SSG by unplugging its power
