Shutting Down Equalizer
Before turning off Equalizer or disconnecting the power, you should perform a clean shutdown. To
shut down Equalizer cleanly, follow these steps:
1. Log into the Equalizer Administration Interface in Edit mode.
2. Select Equalizer > Shut Down Equalizer from the Equalizer menu in the main menu bar. A
confirmation dialog box appears (see Figure 36 on page 63).

3. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK to confirm that you really want to shut down
Equalizer (or click Cancel to abort the shutdown request). If you click OK, Equalizer
immediately initiates the shutdown cycle. After waiting 30 seconds, you can safely power down
the Equalizer.
Rebooting Equalizer
Rebooting Equalizer shuts it down cleanly and then restarts the system. To reboot the Equalizer:
1. Log into the Equalizer Administration Interface in edit mode.
2. Select Equalizer > Reboot from the Equalizer menu in the main menu bar. A confirmation
dialog box appears.
3. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK to confirm that you really want to reboot Equalizer.
The system will shutdown and then reboot; wait a few minutes before attempting to log into the
system again.
Note – Be very careful when restoring configurations. The saved IP information could cause
conflicts on the network if the restored file comes from another Equalizer (for example, its
backup). If this happens, use the console-based Equalizer Configuration Utility to re-configure
the restored configuration’s IP addresses. See “Configuring Equalizer Hardware” on page 21.
