Rebooting and Shutting Down the SCE Platform

Shutting Down the SCE Platform

Shutting down the SCE 1000 platform is required before turning the power off. This helps to ensure that non-volatile memory devices in the SCE 1000 platform are properly flushed in an orderly manner.

Note When the SCE platform restarts, it loads the startup configuration, so all changes made in the running configuration will be lost. You are advised to save the running configuration before performing reload, as described in Saving the Configuration Settings (on page 7-6).

To shut down your SCE 1000 platform, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Connect to the serial console port (The CON connector on the SCE 1000 platform front panel, 9600 baud).

The SCE 1000# prompt appears. Step 2 Type reload shutdown.

A confirmation message appears.

Step 3 Type Y to confirm the shutdown request and press Enter.

EXAMPLE:

The following example shows the commands for system shutdown.

SCE 1000#reload shutdown

You are about to shut down the system.

The only way to resume system operation after this is to cycle the power off, and then back on. Continue?

IT IS NOW SAFE TO TURN THE POWER OFF.

Note Since the SCE 1000 platform can recover from the power-down state only by being physically turned off (or cycling the power), this command can only be executed from the serial CLI console. This limitation helps prevent situations in which a user issues this command from a Telnet session, and then realizes he/she has no physical access to the SCE 1000 platform.
