Dolby DSS-200 Power Switch for Hard Reboot
The Dolby DSS digital cinema server was designed deliberately without a front panel power switch. This was done by design to prevent accidental turn-off during a presentation. There are times, however, when a full power cycle is needed to clear a system issue. For that purpose there is a power switch hidden behind the front bezel.
The DSS200 front panel is shown in Figure 2‐1 with the front‐panel cover on and Figure 2‐2 with the front‐panel cover off. The unit is shipped with the front‐panel cover off.
When you remove the front‐panel cover the red drive tray buttons and a power button are exposed, as shown in Figure 2‐2. If you need to power down the unit, insert a nonconductive material, such as a toothpick into the recessed power button area. There is no need to confirm this action or shut down the system first. It is normal for the second (lower) local network LED to remain on if the main power cables are connected. In addition, the power supply fans continue to run. To restore power to the unit and begin the boot sequence, press the power button again. Press a drive tray button to release the handle for the respective drive during drive replacement.
