System Power 
Switch - STBY/ON 

The System Power switch enables you to control the power to the Acme Packet 
6100. This is useful when it is desirable to shut off power to the Acme Packet 
6100 without having to unplug the power cord. The Acme Packet 6100 has no 
other power switches. The System Power switch, located on the front panel of 
the NIU, has the following switch settings: 

STBY — when selected, the Acme Packet 6100 powers down. While the 
system is in standby mode, the power supply remains active, and the fans 
inside of the power supply run as necessary. The fans in the front of the 
chassis do not run. This convenient feature enables the system to be shut 
down without having to withdraw the power supply or disconnect the 
power supply cord. 

ON — applies power to the Acme Packet 6100. This switch position is used 
during normal operation. 

Caution

The System Power switch should remain in the ON position at 
all times. Do not touch a System Power switch unless 
specifically instructed to do so by your customer support 
representative.
