RES-32XR3/FIO Installation Manual
The Remote On/Off Switch module is installed after first removing one of the exist-
ing RES-32XR3/FIO storage drives (any except the boot drive), then installing a
cable with a standard male DB9 connector at one end and an On/Off switch (an LED
is
optional ) at the other end.
When operational, if the RES-32XR3/FIO is turned OFF , pressing the remote
switch ON will turn the system on.
If the RES-32XR3/FIO is turned ON , pressing the switch OFF for less than 4 sec-
onds will gracefully shut down the system through the BIOS; pressing the switch
OFF for 4 seconds or more results in a “hard” power off (equivalent to pulling the
plug” on the system).
D.2 Remote Only Configuration
When the Remote On/Off Switch module is configured as an ON-only device, if the
RES-32XR3/FIO is turned
OFF , pressing the remote switch ON will turn the system
on. Turning the RES system off, however, requires pressing the ON/OFF button that
is located directly on the front of the RES-32XR3/FIO chassis.
D.3 Ordering the Remote On/Off Switch
Because internal modifications must be made to the RES-32XR3/FIO in order to
support the Remote On/Off Switch module, the module must be ordered and
installed at the time your system is ordered.
