HAWK 8000 CONTROLLER – BACKUP & RESTORE GUIDE

EN2Z-1027GE51
R0517
On detecting the button release, the system begins a 10-second countdown, which displays as shown
here:
Press any key to restore from USB backup.
If no key pressed, factory recovery will begin in 10 seconds
Recovery begins in 9 seconds
Recovery begins in 8 seconds
Recovery begins in....
NOTE:
Pressing any key during this 10-second countdown prevents the system from entering factory
recovery mode. Instead, the system switches modes to restore from a USB backup.
When no key press is detected during the 10-second countdown, the factory recovery process begins at
the moment the countdown finishes. Upon entering recovery mode, the boot process overwrites the HAWK
8000 with a default factory image. During this process, the Backup LED blinks at slow speed (one second
ON, then one second OFF).
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage!
►
Once in recovery mode (Backup LED is flashing in slow blink), do not interrupt this process. Allow the
recovery to complete or the HAWK 8000 could be left in an inoperable state.
Step 4: When the Backup LED stops flashing, turn the controller's power OFF and back ON again to
reboot.
NOTE:
After restoring factory defaults, the initial HAWK 8000 reboot process takes longer than usual.
On completion, the HAWK 8000 is restored to a factory default state.
Shutting Down the Controller
The shutdown procedure allows you to safely shutdown the HAWK 8000.
Step 1: Press and hold the Shutdown button until the Backup LED begins to flash.
NOTE:
In QNX 4.3, the heartbeat LED also turns OFF, and all Ethernet, USB, and console connectivity
is lost.
Step 2: Once the Backup LED begins to flash, release the Shutdown button.
Step 3: Once the Backup LED turns ON (solid) and begins to flash, wait until the Backup LED turns OFF.
Step 4: Remove power to the HAWK 8000.
NOTE:
If you have a terminal connected to the HAWK 8000, the following message displays when the
shutdown process is complete and it is safe to remove power:
iomonitor: shutdown complete, safe to remove power
