Shutting down the controller

The shutdown procedure allows you to safely shutdown the controller.

Perform the following steps:
  1. Press and hold the Shutdown button until the Backup LED begins to flash.
     
    NOTE: In QNX 4.3, the heartbeat LED also turns off, and all Ethernet, USB, and console connectivity is lost. 
     
  2. Once the Backup LED begins to flash, release the Shutdown button.
  3. Once the Backup LED turns on (solid) and begins to blink, wait until the Backup LED turns off.
  4. Remove power to the controller.
     
    NOTE: If you have a terminal connected to the controller, the following message displays when the shutdown process is complete and it is safe to remove power:
    iomonitor: shutdown complete, safe to remove power
