Powering On and Off
Connect power and power on the HDX system after you have connected all of
the equipment that you will use with it. Make sure that the system is powered
off before you connect devices to it.
For instructions on how to power on and off the Polycom Touch Control, refer
to Powering On the Polycom Touch Control Device on page 1-15.
Power-On Self Test (POST)
After the splash screen is displayed, the HDX system automatically performs
system health checks every time the system starts. As each check begins, a
message appears on Monitor 1.
If a test fails, press Hangup on the remote control to continue the startup
process. However, even if the system appears to start up, Polycom
recommends that you contact Technical Support before using your HDX
system if any system tests fail.
Powering On the Polycom HDX 9000 Series Systems
To power on the Polycom HDX 9000 series, do one of the following:
• Press the power button on the remote control.
• Press the power switch on the front of the system.
The Polycom splash screen is displayed within about 10 seconds.
To power off the Polycom HDX 9000 series, do one of the following:
• Press and hold the power button on the remote control for 2 seconds.
• Press and hold the power switch on the front of the system for 2 seconds.
Caution. In order to avoid corrupting the file system, always power off a Polycom
HDX system using the power button on the system or the remote control, if the
remote control is configured to allow the system to be powered off. After turning the
power off in this way, wait at least 15 seconds before you unplug the system from its
power source. This helps ensure that the system powers off correctly.
The Power button affects any HDX system within the range of the remote
control, regardless of the Channel ID setting.
