CarNetix CNX-P1290 V1.0 Installation Manual
Step 4. Turning off your system.
Since you are not using the SSC, you must manually turn off your CarPC BEFORE you turn off
your ignition to prevent corruption of your hard disk drive (HDD).
If your CarPC has booted properly and is currently running, press the Start switch on the front panel
of your CarPC to initiate shutdown (you may also initiate shutdown through the normal Windows
menus). Once the CarPC has fully shut itself down, you can then turn off your ignition switch. The
CNX-P1290 will go through its normal shutdown process and eventually turn itself off (after the
jumper-selectable Shutdown Delay time plus Boot Time).
Caution: If you turn off power to your CarPC before it has gone through its normal shutdown
(whether it’s full shutdown, sleep, or hibernation), you could damage and/or corrupt your HDD. If
you are not using the SSC, make sure to shut down your CarPC before you turn off your ignition
switch, or make sure you select a “boot time” that exceeds your CarPC shutdown time.
