1.3.2 Power ON/OFF Procedure
Connect the power cord to your device and plug it into the wall socket. To turn on the
power, first turn on the power switch for the power supply at the back of your device and
then press the power switch on the front to start up the system. The blue backlight LED will
turn on and the OS LED will blink during the start up. It will take about two minutes for the
device to go online and when the OS LED is a solid green, the system is ready.
To turn off the Hydra LAN, login via browser, stop all current downloads, go to the “Turn Off
Server” section in the “System” area and turn the server off or use the ON/OFF switch on
the front of the device (press and hold ~3 seconds until the OS LED starts blinking). The
OS LED will be blinking rapidly for about 5 seconds and then the system will shut down
about 20 seconds later. If the device is not in use for a longer period of time, we
recommend turning off the power supply with the ON/OFF switch at the back of the device
and removing the power cord from the wall socket.
Note: If you prefer the system to start up again by itself after a power outage, set the A/M
switch at the back of the device to A.
