Powering down the gateway
Before powering down the system for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, you must back up critical
system data and programs.
Use one of the following methods to power down the system:
•
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the system enters
standby mode.
•
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the system to power
down.
This method forces the system to power down without properly exiting applications and the OS. If an
application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
Before proceeding, you must ensure that the system is in standby mode by verifying that the system
power LED is off.
