2: Freeway Installation and Initial Boot
DC 900-1333Q 45
If you have a custom Freeway server configuration, you must power off the unit in a
controlled manner using a BSD shell command. Otherwise, you risk having file corrup-
tion in the read-write partition of the disk drive if you just turn the power off with the
switch. To perform a controlled system shutdown, use the following steps:
1. Log into the Freeway from either the local or remote console.
Freeway User Login: root
Password: setup
2. At the main menu select Run FreeBSD Shell (6). You will see a pound sign (#)
prompt.
Note
If you are having problems logging in remotely as a “root” user,
refer to Section B.5 on page 215 for instructions on how to log in
using the “freeway” account.
3. Enter the following command to shutdown the Freeway server. The “-p” in the
command indicates that the Freeway will power itself off when the shutdown pro-
cedure is complete:
shutdown -p now
You can also use the above command to power off a standard Freeway server when you
do not have direct access to the physical unit.
