Chapter 14: Meridian MAX power-down
procedure
The Meridian MAX is designed to work most effectively when the system
is left on at all times. If there is no overruling, site-specific reason for
turning off the Meridian MAX system, it is recommended that the system
be left on.
CAUTION
Risk of data corruption
Do not power off a module without first
performing the system shutdown procedure.
The Meridian MAX module must not be powered
off without first shutting down the system. The
shutdown process synchronizes the information
currently in system memory with the information
on the hard drive. Only in extenuating
circumstances should the module be powered off
without first shutting down.
If you must turn the system off, follow these steps.
