2. Operating the S-Box
2.1 Turning the S-Box On and Off
The S-Box has two lights and a rocker switch on the front of the unit.
The rocker switch is used to power up the unit, the green light
indicates that the unit is powered up and the red light indicates hard
disk activity.
By pressing and releasing the power switch the S-Box performs a
start-up sequence similar to that of a personal computer. Once
switched on, the S-Box on will normally take up to two minutes to
start up and occasionally up to five minutes when it needs to perform
a hard disk check.
The S-Box is designed to operate continuously without being shut
down for long periods of time. However, should you need to turn it off
you can use the “SHUT DOWN” command in the S-Box’s User
Interface:
1.
Open the S-Box User Interface (see 2.2 below).
2.
Click on the “SETTINGS” tab and then the “GENERAL” tab.
3.
Click once on the “SHUT DOWN” button at the bottom of the
page.
Alternatively the unit may also be powered down by momentarily
pressing the rocker-switch on the front panel.
It will take up to one minute before the lights go off and it is then safe
to unplug the S-Box.
Warning: If the S-Box is disconnected from a power source
before it has completely shut down then damage to the hard
disk may occur.
