Recommended Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch

Caution: Do not pull any DFE module out of an operating chassis before it has completed its shutdown routine.

Precaución: No retire los módulos DFE del chasis en funcionamiento hasta que no se haya terminado con la rutina de apagado.

Before pulling a DFE module out of a chassis,

press or tap on its OFFLINE/RESET switch for less than 1 second.

Its CPU LED changes from solid green to blinking between green and amber, indicating that the DFE module is shutting down. At the end of the DFE module shutdown routine, the CPU LED changes to a 67%/33% sequence of amber/off, respectively, indicating the module is in a halt state. In this time it is safe to restart or remove the DFE module from the chassis.

When a controlled shutdown is initiated from the OFFLINE/RESET switch, you have 60 seconds from the time the CPU starts flashing amber/off until the time the device is automatically restarted.

Note: The only safe time to pull a DFE module out of the chassis is when the CPU LED is blinking amber. Otherwise, system operation will be interrupted.
