I'm going to interpret your question as "Why are there negative consequences 
when a Linux server is suddenly powered off?", but you English is a bit 
broken so I'm not sure that's what you are asking.

Basically this is the same reason any system suffers from a sudden loss of 
power: caching.  In order to make some slow processes (e.g. hard disk 
writes) appear faster, allow the system to pipeline actions, and generally 
increase throughput and decrease response times of the system as a whole, 
Linux caches data in fast, volatile memory.  Unfortunately, all the data in 
that memory goes away fairly quickly once power is cut.

Generally, a Linux system will recover gracefully from the power loss, but 
no system is able to recover the data that was in volatile memory and no 
where else.
