>> To switch off the XL8 Control Centre
1 Make sure you have saved any shows, scenes or settings you require (see 
“Saving your show files to a USB memory stick” on page 56).
2 At the GUI, choose homePreferencesShutdown System.
3 At the Shutdown ENTIRE system? prompt, click OK. This initiates the 
shutdown down sequence.
During the shutdown sequence the GUI screens will shutdown and all of the LCD 
select buttons on the control surface will turn red. To inform you of the shutdown 
status, the LCD select buttons in the input bays and VCA/POP group sections will 
also display individual and contiguous text messages, respectively.
When the shutdown sequence has finished the LCD select buttons on the control 
surface will turn green, and the appropriate ones will also display text messages, 
accordingly.
Important:
During the shutdown sequence, when the LCD select buttons on the 
control surface are red, do not switch off the mains power supply, and 
when they are green, it is OK to switch off the mains power supply.
4 Make sure that the shutdown sequence has finished, and then switch off the five 
bay mains on/off isolator switches (rear of control centre), one at a time.
5 Disconnect the two mains PowerCon® connectors from the PowerCon® sockets 
on rear of XL8 Control Centre. To unlock them, twist by about 90° (1/4 turn) 
anti-clockwise.
Setting up the ID of the DL4n1 units
After connecting up your XL8 network system, you will need to set up the ID of the 
DL431 Mic Splitter, DL451 Modular I/O and DL471 DSP units (if they don’t already have 
the ID you want). This is done via the control panel of the unit.
