Abstract
Example implementations relate to a server node shutdown. For example, a system includes a control module and a secondary power supply. The control module includes a detect engine to detect an even that triggers a sequenced shutdown of a server node and prevent execution of the sequenced shutdown and execution of a data transfer. The control module also includes an initiate engine to initiate a data backup process, by a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the server node, to write data from a volatile memory location of the server node to a non-volatile memory location of the server node. The secondary power supply is to support the data backup process.
