Shutting Down, Turning Off, and Completely Removing Power
From the Library
Some maintenance activities require that you take the entire library offline, while other activities require that
you turn off the library.
Always perform a shutdown before turning off or removing power from the library. Shutting down a library
shuts down the library's operating system and firmware. When you perform a shutdown, the library finishes
the current command and lowers the robot to the floor of the library.

off.
