Does Source address affinity works when the server goes down?

I know this might be little dumb question. But i would like to know that does source address affinity works when the server is down or not? Thanks in advance.

    1) When a pool member is marked down by a health monitor the persistence records for that member are immediately deleted and the client will be load balanced to another pool member and a new persistence record created.

    2) When a pool member is manually forced offline the client will be load balanced to a new member and the old persistence record is deleted and a new one created.

    3) When a pool member is manually disabled the persistence record remains in effect and the client's traffic will continue to be sent to the disabled member.
