Getting to know NetPilot
Power Switch
It is advisable to shut down the system under software control to
guarantee that any open files on the system disk are closed correctly. In
order to power down the NetPilot in the recommended manner, the
power switch on the front panel provides a signal to the main processor
to begin the shutdown procedure. This process is indicated by beeps
which will indicate the start and end of the shutdown. After a period, the
front panel indicator LEDs will go out, the fans will stop and the power
lead may be removed from the NetPilot. If the power lead is removed
without using the power switch or there is a mains power failure, the
NetPilot may have to rebuild any of the files that were open which will
result in the next power-up taking more time.
