If you click the "Shutdown" entry in the tree, you will receive the
warning message shown in Figure 19a and your browser color will change
to red to indicate that you have selected an option that will
negatively impact users of the FreeNAS® system.

**Figure 19a: Shutdown Warning Message**

If a scrub or resilver is in progress when a shutdown is requested, an
additional warning will ask you to make sure that you wish to proceed.
In this case, it is recommended to "Cancel" the shutdown request and
to periodically run
:command:`zpool status`
from
:ref:`Shell`
until it is verified that the scrub or resilver process is complete.
Once complete, the shutdown request can be re-issued.

Click the "Cancel" button if you wish to cancel the shutdown request.
Otherwise, click the "Shutdown" button to halt the system. Shutting
down the system will disconnect all clients, including the web
administration GUI, and will power off the FreeNAS® system. You will
need physical access to the FreeNAS® system in order to turn it back
on.
