Powering down or shutting down the D400 without using the proper procedure could
result in loss of system log data (SOE log, alarm log, user log, etc.), and could prevent the
D400 from restarting properly. Follow the instructions provided to shut down the D400
safely.
Like a computer, you should shut down the D400 before removing power or to perform a
complete system reboot. Shutting down the D400 ensures that all applications are
properly terminated, settings are saved, and the CPU is safely turned off. It also helps for a
smoother restart.
The shut down command is run at the D400's command line interface and can be
performed locally or remotely using a terminal session. You have the option to completely
halt operation of the D400 or to stop and then restart it.
1. Log in to the D400 system. See "System utilities" on page 109.
2. At the D400#>> command prompt, type shutdown -h now and press Enter.
The D400 shuts down. If you are performing the shut down locally, you can verify that
the CPU Ready LED on the D400 front panel turns off and the System Fail power
supply alarm is set (if wired). You can now safely disconnect the power.
It may take a couple of minutes for the D400 to fully shut down and for the CPU Ready
LED to go off.
1. Log in to the D400 system. See "System utilities" on page 109.
2. At the D400#>> command prompt, type shutdown -r now and press Enter.
The D400 software shuts down and then restarts automatically. Once the restart is
complete, you can log back into the D400.
