4Motion 94 System Manual
3.2 Shutting Down/Resetting the System
This section describes the commands for:
 “Shutting Down the System” on page 94
 “Managing System Reset” on page 95
3.2.1 Shutting Down the System
You can, at any time, use the CLI to shut down the 4Motion system. When you
execute the shutdown command, the system and all its processes are gracefully
shut down. It is also possible that the system may initiate self shutdown if an
internal error has occurred.
To shut down the 4Motion system, run the following command:
npu# npu shutdown
A few seconds after you run this command, the system is shut down.
IMPORTANT
Before shutting down the system, it is recommended that you:
 Save the configuration file. The last saved configuration is used for rebooting the system. For
more information about saving the current configuration, refer to
Section 3.3.5.1.
 Periodically make a backup of log and trace files on the NPU flash if you have configured logs
and traces to be written to file. This file does not store log and trace messages after the system
is reset or shut down. For details, refer to Section 3.3.12.1.5.
NOTECAUTION
The system does not display any warning or request for verification; it immediately shuts down after
you execute this command. To start up the NPU (after shut down), either switch off and then switch
on the -48V power supply, or disconnect and then reconnect the PIU power cable.
