Resetting the Acme Packet 4500 via the front of the chassis performs a cold reboot.
This is the equivalent to disconnecting the power from the system and then
reconnecting it. There is no orderly termination of tasks, and the system shuts down
abruptly. You should only reset the Acme Packet 4500 when it becomes unstable and
no other means of gaining administrative control is possible.
During a system reset, certain files are not closed properly, and they may become
corrupted. Depending on what files become damaged, the system might become
completely unusable.
Always try to first reboot the Acme Packet 4500 from the ACLI
before performing a cold reset. Only reset the system as a last
resort.
To reset the Acme Packet 4500:
1.
Insert a rigid paperclip-sized tool into the small hole on the front of the chassis
beneath the graphic display.
The system immediately resets and begins its initialization and boot sequence.
Power Cycling the Acme Packet 4500 is the process of turning the chassis off then
on from the switches on the power supplies or by equivalent means to remove power
from the system. It is imperative that you wait at least 10 seconds between power
down and power up to ensure that all components are completely powered down
before restart.
