Powering Down Your Athena Range

It is important to turn off the operating system before powering down the EST Units. Failing to do so could damage your EST Unit's file system.

1.To shut the operating system down down for the EST Units, in Orion

a.From the menu bar, click on Athena -> Athena Unit Maintenance. This will open the Athena Maintenance window.

b.Click the "Select All" button. This will select all of your EST Units.

c.Click the "Shutdown" button. This will send a signal to each of the EST Units to begin the shut down sequence. This process is purposefully delayed 60s and can take up to 2 minutes to complete.
NOTE: This only shuts the operating system down, it does not turn off the power to the units.

2.Once the monitors screens turn off, it is safe to unplug the power.

a.Switch off the power from each NC model EST Target.

b.Switch off the power from each DoW model Monitor.

c.Switch off the power from each MM model Display.

3.Unplug the power cords connecting the EST Targets and Monitors.
