4.4 Controlling System Power with the Front Panel Display

The RamSan-500 has features that allow the administrator to safely power down the system. Before powering down the system, un-mount the drives from your OS. Do not turn off the system by unplugging the power cords.

4.4.1 Manual Shutdown

The administrator can shut down the RamSan-500 manually from the front panel display. This procedure safely synchronizes all data in the RAM cache to the internal Flash module storage.

In order to turn the RamSan-500 back on after a manual shutdown, switch off both power modules and then switch both back on.
