Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch
To reset a DFE-Platinum module without it performing an orderly shutdown routine,
press and hold the OFFLINE/RESET switch for approximately 6 seconds.
Pulling any DFE-Platinum module out of the chassis before it has been shut down is not
recommended. The only safe time to pull a module out of the chassis is after the
completion of a shutdown and the management LED is alternately flashing amber/off.
Note: The only safe time to pull a DFE-Platinum module out of the chassis is when the
CPU LED is alternately flashing amber/off. Otherwise, system operation will be
interrupted.
Caution: This method of shutting down a DFE-Platinum module is not recommended
except as a last resort, because all processes currently running on the module will be
interrupted resulting in loss of frames.
