9.5.2Resetting and Power Cycling the System from a Remote Console

It is possible to reset the system or cycle power from the remote console under these conditions:

•The console must be connected to port A on the clock board.

•The key switch must be in either the On or Diagnostic setting. If the key switch is in the Secure or Off position, the remote key sequences and button resets are ignored.

•Security features permit the use of the remote console.

•You must use a slow typing speed, not less than 0.5 seconds and not more than 5 seconds between characters.
