In this section:
This section provides information about gracefully shutting down the DSC 8000 in case of an emergency as follows:
Follow the instructions in this procedure to shut down all software applications on the DSC 8000.
Start
Click the Stop All Software Applications button.
System routing and management applications processes are shut down and are not restarted. The card management processes slotmon and rmdaemon are NOT shut down and, hence, keep on running on the respective system.
Use a hardware reset only in an emergency. This reset interrupts service on the DSC 8000.
The DSC 8000 chassis is not equipped with a power switch. To remove power from this platform, disconnect power at the power source.
One method for disconnecting the power is to remove one fuse from both the A and B fuse blocks by extracting the fuse holder from the PDU by pulling this holder outward until it is completely removed from the PDU.
Each fuse in the PDU controls the power connections to PM1 - PM4 for every shelf.
