subject: Pi4 headless shutdown

Hi all,
I just assembled a raspberry-pi with these items:
- pi4 board (4gb ram)
- 16gb microsd card (with archlinux-arm 64bit on);
- X832 board (to attach a 3.5 HDD);
- 12V power supply (as needed by X832).


The system started as soon as I plugged in the power adapter to the wall
socket (red and blue lights blinking)
This is a headless configuration (no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse),
so I managed to ssh to the archlinux OS, configure pacman keyring and
then was dinner time :)

To shutdown the system I sent this command via ssh:
systemctl poweroff

The ssh connection was closed, but the raspberry had red lights still
on, and I could hear a fan spinning.

I waited 5 minutes without visible changes, then I pulled the plug off
the socket.

Can you please confirm I shuted down the system the proper way?

Thanks in advance, bye!
