Using the OFFLINE/RESET Button
You can shut down an SSA using the OFFLINE/RESET button, shown in Figure
slightly recessed behind the SSA faceplate. There are two procedures to shut down an SSA:
•
Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
•
Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button (This procedure is not
recommended)

Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
Before shutting off power to an SSA, press or tap on its OFFLINE/RESET button for less than one
second.
The SSA CPU LED changes from solid green to blinking between green and amber, indicating that
the SSA is shutting down. At the end of the shutdown routine, the CPU LED changes to a 67%/
33% sequence of amber/off, respectively, indicating the system is in a halt state. At this time it is
safe to restart the SSA.
When you initiate a controlled shutdown with the OFFLINE/RESET button, you have 60 seconds
from the time the CPU LED starts flashing amber/off until the device automatically restarts.
Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
To reset an SSA without it performing an orderly shutdown routine, press and hold the OFFLINE/
RESET button for approximately 6 seconds.

Caution: This method of shutting down an SSA is not recommended except as a last resort,
because all processes currently running on the SSA will be interrupted resulting in loss of frames.
Precaución: No se recomienda utilizar este método para apagar los módulos SSA. Recurra a él
sólo como último recurso, puesto que interrumpe todos los procesos del módulo en
funcionamiento, lo que podría resultar pérdidas de frames.
