If there is a need to perform maintenance, the system may already be powered down. If this is the
case, proceed to “To shutdown the system hardware” on page 16.
If the system is still operating, perform the following procedures:
• “To shut down the system software” on page 15
• “To shutdown the system hardware” on page 16
To shut down the system software
1 Check for a recent backup of the BCM system programming.
2 If there is no recent backup, use Element Manager to back up the system data. For information
about backing up the system data, refer to the BCM 4.0 Administration Guide.
3 In Element Manager, from the Administration tab, click the Utilities folder to expand it.
4 From the Utilities folder, select Reset.
5 Click Shutdown System to prepare the system for power disconnect.
This action will stop all services. All Element Manager sessions will be disconnected from the
system. The BCM system can be restored to service only by powering the BCM system off and
back on again.
6 Click Ok.
The progress update dialog box appears and the BCM system begins the shutdown process.
When the shutdown process is complete, the final warning dialog box appears, and the LEDs
enter the flashing state.
7 Click Ok to disconnect Element Manager.
When the shutdown Element Manager is disconnected, the system gives an audible beep. The
LEDs remain in the flashing state until the hardware is shutdown (see “To shutdown the
system hardware” on page 16).
If the system hardware is not shutdown within about 15 minutes, it automatically boots up
again.
