The Server Name and all defined Volume Sets are also lost when a reset-to-defaults reboot is selected. A Power Off Reboot will power down your system using a managed, controlled process designed to protect the system’s equipment prior to power off. The Status light will remain solid red, indicating the VR-N100U can be powered off. Turn the power switch to the Off position, or unplug the power cord from the outlet. Do not remove the power cord from the system to power it off. Use the Down key to cycle through the different reboot choices until you get to the one you want.
