4.4 Startup and Shutdown of MFDs
☞ The NACOS Platinum and the related consoles and the electronics equipment are permanently up
and running. They are only completely shut down by qualified authorised service personnel in case
of servicing and repair. The system components are then separated from the mains using a main
switch on the bridge. When switching on the mains supply again, the equipment will startup auto-
matically without further user action.
This section describes how to use the shut-down function, if this is required, e.g. if the power supply has
to be switched off during a dockyard period, or if an individual MFD shall be switched off for specific
reasons. Proceed as follows to switch off a MFD:
1. Press [Alt] + [F4], or click the Menu button and then Shut Down.
2. Enter the required password.
3. In the window which is displayed, select Shut Down and click OK.
The other options Reboot or Log off can be used to re-boot the MFD immediately or to log off
and on again.
4. Separate the unit from the mains using the mains switch on the bridge.
This way, the NACOS Platinum program is terminated and the PC is shut down. The display will be
switched off automatically.
To switch on the MFD use the main power switch (if appl., refer to the drawings in the delivery docu-
ments). It will automatically start up and run in normal operating state, Super Home is displayed. If the
MFD is already up and running and displaying a screensaver, just move the trackball slightly to display
the graphical user interface of the MFD.
As long as the ship is at sea and in operation, the NACOS Platinum must be fully
operational, i.e. the NACOS Platinum and its applications must not be shut down.
UPS systems must not be deactivated.
Never switch off a MFD without having completed the described shutdown proce-
dure. The TFT display will probably function in a normal manner when just
switching off the power and then switching it on again. However, and this applies
to all types of PCs used: if, at the moment it is switched off, the PC accesses the
hard disk, the hard disk might be permanently damaged resulting in system
failure of the MFD and loss of data.
