The Reset Switch
The Reset switch is located on the front panel, under the top plastic tab as shown
in Figure 2-2. It serves two functions:
¥ Pressing the Reset switch twice within three seconds causes the processor
(i960) to reset.
¥ Pressing and holding the switch on for three or more seconds causes the
module to shutdown. Pressing and holding the button again for three seconds
restarts the module.
SNMP management may be used to disable this switch to enhance module
security.

CAUTION
Resetting the 9A600 will cause a brief period of system downtime. When the
interface module is reset, the remaining modules go through an initialization
process to determine which interface module will become the module that
performs specific management functions.
