2.3.3.2 Linux Installation
The subject of installing the Linux operating system onto the RES-12XR3 is detailed
in Appendix C, “Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Installation”.
2.3.4 Turning the System Off
1. To turn the RES-12XR3 power off, press and hold the system power on/off
button (see
Figure 2-20 , page 2-20) for at least four (4) seconds. This will shut
down the system and turn off the

As an alternative, a modern operating system (Windows 9x or newer and
Linux, for example) can turn off the system after a graceful OS software
shutdown.
Caution: Before turning your system off, make sure to save all open files, properly
close applications, and broadcast a warning to all users on any active networks.
