Power-down Procedures
Powering Down the Control Node
1. End any customer data entry sessions.
2. If you don’t have an up-to-date DATA SAVE on RSD, 
perform a DATA SAVE to RSD (see page 164).
3. Hold down PANEL ENABLE and press ACTIVITY 
FREEZE ON.
4. (Redundant systems only) Enter the PARTITION 
command from the active plane and then from the 
inactive plane.
5. (Redundant systems only) Enter the FILE STAT REDUN 
command from the active plane and then from the 
inactive plane. Both planes should be ISOLATED (see 
Table 25 on page 125 if they are not).
6. Enter the DBMS STAT command. The DBMS initialized 
flag should be ON.
7. Enter the VOL DISMOUNT SYSUSER command (if your 
system is redundant, enter the command first from the 
inactive plane and then from the active plane).
8. When the system confirms that SYSUSER is 
dismounted, set the power switch on the power 
distribution units at the rear of the main control cabinet to 
“0” (OFF).
9. Disconnect the power cords from the power source.
