Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Button
Before shutting off power to a SSA switch, press or tap on its OFFLINE/RESET button for less than
one second.
The SSA system CPU LED changes from solid green to blinking between green and amber,
indicating that the SSA switch 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 switch.
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 switch without it performing an orderly shutdown routine, press and hold the
OFFLINE/RESET button for approximately 6 seconds.

Caution: This method of shutting down a SSA switch is not recommended except as a last resort,
because all processes currently running on the SSA switch 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.
