You can't "turn off" that bunker, it has multiple diesel generators and lots of fuel reserves. It also has clean water reserves and air filtering capabilities, so you can't gas the people inside.

Physically cutting its uplink lines would be IMHO the most efficient way to neutralize that datacenter.
