6.3 Powering Off an FXT 5000 Series Edge Filer Node
To avoid potential data corruption, always use the Avere Control Panel software to shut down an FXT 5000 Series
filer.
In an electrical emergency, disconnect all power from the node by removing all power cords or by
operating the emergency power disconnect mechanism installed for the node.
6.3.1 Normal Shutdown
To power off an FXT 5000 Series node:
1. Log in to the Avere Control Panel.
2. Click the
Settings
tab, then click
FXT Nodes
in the
Cluster
section to load the
FXT Nodes
page.
3. Locate the node that you want to power off from the listing of nodes and click its
