Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch

To reset a DFE module without it performing an orderly shutdown routine,
press and hold the OFFLINE/RESET switch for approximately 6 seconds.
Pulling any DFE module out of the chassis before it has been shut down is not
recommended. The only safe time to pull a module out of the chassis is after the
completion of a shutdown and the management LED is flashing amber/off.
