# Restart Multi-Node Tableau Server Computers

Restarting the computers running a multi-node installation of Tableau Server requires that you follow a few specific steps.

To restart computers running a multi-node installation of Tableau Server:

1. Stop Tableau Server. To do this:
    
    1. On the initial node, open a terminal session.
    2. Run this tsm command:
        
        tsm stop
    3. Wait until Tableau Server is stopped.
2. Restart the additional node computers. These are all the other computers _except_ for the one running TSM Controller.
3. Wait until each of the additional node computers has completely restarted, including the Tableau Services Manager (TSM) processes installed there.
4. Restart the initial node computer (the computer running TSM Controller). When it has completely restarted and Tableau Server is running, connections to each additional node should be restored.
