cycle the nTier300 VTL to recover from an error. To power off the nTier300 VTL, press
and hold the front panel power button (Figure 1-1 on page 18) until the button's LED
turns off. Press the button again power the nTier300 VTL back on again.
Caution:
Do not use the power button to turn off the nTier300 VTL
unless you are specifically instructed to do so by SpectraGuard
Technical Support. Instead, use the shutdown procedure
described in this section.
