Rebooting and Shutting Down the SCE Platform
How to Shut Down the SCE Platform
Shutting down the SCE platform is required before turning the power off. This helps to ensure that
non-volatile memory devices in the SCE platform are properly flushed in an orderly manner.
Note When the SCE platform restarts, it loads the startup configuration, so all changes made in the running
configuration will be lost. You are advised to save the running configuration before performing reload,
as described in Saving or Changing the Configuration Settings, page 7-6.
Step 1 Connect to the serial console port (The CON connector on the front panel of the Service Control module
in slot #1, 9600 baud).
The SCE# prompt appears.
Step 2 Type reload shutdown.
A confirmation message appears.
Step 3 Type y to confirm the shutdown request and press Enter.
Examples for Shutting Down the SCE Platform
The following example shows the commands for system shutdown.
SCE#reload shutdown
You are about to shut down the system.
The only way to resume system operation after this
is to cycle the power off, and then back on.
Continue?

IT IS NOW SAFE TO TURN THE POWER OFF.
Note Since the SCE platform can recover from the power-down state only by being physically turned off (or
cycling the power), this command can only be executed from the serial CLI console. This limitation
helps prevent situations in which a user issues this command from a Telnet session, and then realizes he
or she has no physical access to the SCE platform.
