Powering Off the SRX3400 Services Gateway
You can power off the services gateway in one of the following ways:
- Graceful shutdown—Press and immediately release the POWER button on the front of the SFB (for 3 to 5 seconds) to initiate graceful shutdown. The device begins gracefully shutting down the operating system and then powers itself off.
- Forced shutdown—Press the POWER button and hold
it for 15 seconds to power down the device immediately.
You need to press the POWER button again to power on the device.
Caution: Use the graceful shutdown method to power off or reboot the services gateway whenever possible. Use the forced shutdown method as a last resort to recover the services gateway if the services gateway operating system is not responding to the graceful shutdown method.
By default, even if you press the POWER button and hold it for 15 seconds, the device will still do a graceful shutdown as long as the device is responsive and operating normally. The device will resort to forced shutdown only if it fails or does not respond to the operating system.
- To remove power completely from the device, unplug the AC power cord (for AC-powered devices) or switch off the DC power source (for DC-powered devices). After powering off the device, wait for at least 10 seconds before powering on the device again. After powering on the device, wait for at least 10 seconds before powering it off.
