Freeway 3414/3414R Hardware Maintenance Guide
2.1 Shutdown and Startup Procedures
The following sections describe the typical sequence of steps used to shutdown and
startup the Freeway. Because shutdown and startup requirements can vary, check with
your system administrator to establish the best procedures for your site. Note that the
Freeway is designed for continuous operation. Most sites leave the Freeway on-line
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, shutting down only to perform mainte-
nance or install upgrades.
2.1.1 Preparing for Shutdown
Inform all users that you will be shutting down the Freeway and they should stop any
devices that are currently sending messages to it. Next determine which type of Free-
way you will be shutting down. A Standard Freeway is a Freeway with no Server Res-
ident Application (SRA) running on it. An SRA is additional software that runs on the
Freeway itself and is not part of the standard Freeway software distribution. An exam-
ple of an SRA is Protogate’s Monitor Software product which is distributed on a
CDROM separate from the Freeway software. If your Freeway is using an SRA, you
need to use a the shutdown procedure outlined in Section 2.1.3 in order to avoid possi-
ble disk corruption.
2.1.2 Shutdown Procedure (Standard Freeway)
1. Open the access door on the front of the Freeway cabinet (right side).
2. Locate the ON/OFF power switch as shown in Figure 2–1 .
3. Power down the Freeway by pressing and holding the power switch in the direc-
tion of the “0” symbol until you hear the system power off.
4. Unplug the power cord(s) from the rear of the Freeway cabinet if you plan to do
any hardware maintenance on the Freeway.
