Dataguard server relocation downtime

Question

Hi Guys,
We are using 2 Node Oracle 11g R2 RAC Cluster on windows 2008 as a primary site and the similar cluster congirations on the secondary site. we are relocating our Secondary Standby Database server to a different site. There will be a atleast 10 hours down time on seondary site while we are moving the physical servers. At the moment we have 200GB space available on Production server for FRA and our daily archive log file generation is 70GB maximum. Could you please let me know what is the best way for me to down the secondary standby server and Up it again on the new site without any issues.
1- Shell I Shutdown the standby server straight away and plug in on new site and it can start recovering from the primary site ? (I know this is not a safe way)
2- Shell I turn the transport OFF on the primary site and then turn it ON on later on new site ?
Any feedback would be appreciated !
Regards,

Hi,
In Primary location:
Alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=defer sid='*';   ---will stop sending archives to Secondary location (Standby)
Secondary location (Standby ) is UP:
STARTUP NOMOUNT
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
In Primary location:
Alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=enable sid='*';
And check in Secondary location :  select name, value from v$dataguard_Stats;
For example result:
NAME                                              VALUE
transport lag                                +00 00:00:00
apply lag                                      +00 00:00:00
apply finish time                           +00 00:00:00.000
estimated startup time                 21
Thank you
