POWERING DOWN THE TESTER

9.0       POWERING DOWN THE TESTER

            Note:   The test system must always be shut down in a controlled

manner or data may be lost.

9.1              In order to properly power down the tester first all running processes must be halted and the disk drives must be unmounted. This process requires system root user privilege and must be performed by the test engineering department or its authorized representative.

9.2       Exit from all running BT-BASIC windows.              At the HP VUE graphical interface, click the mouse on the terminal icon on the Workspace Manager bar displayed at the bottom of the screen.

9.3        This will open an hpterm window on the screen.  If not currently logged into the system

as user root, type the following at the command line $ prompt:  $ SU -root  and press

the “ENTER” key on the keyboard.

9.4        Enter the correct password when queried by the system.

9.5        Type shutdown –h 1 at the command line # prompt and press the “ENTER” key on

the keyboard.  The system will broadcast a message to all logged in users informing them that the system will be shut down in 1 minute.

9.6        When the shutdown procedure has completed the following message will appear on the

tester display:             

                                    System has halted

                                    OK to turn off power or reset system

9.7        It is now okay to power off the tester.  Caution must be exercised if the tester hardware

configuration consists of  separate hard disk units and signal processor unit.  In this case power off the Signal Processing Unit (SPU) first.  Then power down the disk drives and other peripheral devices afterwards.
