Thanks again for all answers. According to

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Sysrq#What_are_the_.27command.27_keys.3F

Magic SysRq key is enabled at compile-time, but disabled at boot-time.
So, I had to use the physical power button. However, as soon as the
computer booted, I configured Magic SysRq key to be enabled at
boot-time.
