SUNFIRE V240 procedure to shutdown with safety in order to replace power cables

SUNFIRE V240 is running normally.

I want to replace the power cables. For that,
I will -shutdown with safety the server
-remove the power cables
-insert the new power cables
-start with safety the server
Removing the power cables and insert the new power cables will take 20 minutes.
Question: Which commands to use to shutdown with safety the server;

What do you mean with "shutdown with safety" and "start with safety"?

BTW, the server has two powersupplies. Why don't you replace the cables one by one? You wouldn't have to shutdown the server at all.

I want to change the power source of the server: move from one power source to another one.
with safety means shutdown and be able to start easily.
Thanks for your help.
