in a power saving mode. The System Link LED is constantly illuminated when the system is in normal operation.

NOTE: The information provided for the System Link LED is also applicable to the blue LED on the front panel of the Desktop Appliance.

FLASH Access

The FLASH Access LED is normally not illuminated. It is only illuminated when the FLASH memory of the PCI Add In Card or Desktop Appliance is accessed. This is only the case when the Digital Desktop System is accessed using the DWorks Administration Utility.

Remote Power Control

Powering the Desktop Appliance and computer

If you have installed the optional Remote Power Control (RPC) feature, you can power your system on and off from the Desktop Appliance by pressing the Power button on the front panel. The PCI Add In Card will power down the computer approximately 20 seconds after the Power button has been pressed on the Desktop Appliance.

NOTE: This time can vary. For more information on timing, refer to the Loose Link feature in the DWorks Administration Utility.

The Power LED on the front panel of the Desktop Appliance is not illuminated when the Desktop Appliance is powered down. It will blink rapidly when power is applied without a system link. It blinks slowly to indicate that a system link is established but the unit(s) on either end of the connection is in a power saving mode. The System Link LED is constantly illuminated when the system is in normal operation.

NOTE: Follow your operating system’s instructions for shutdown prior to powering down the system, just as you would if directly connected to your computer.
