LED.To power off GPC-1000MX, you can either command shutdown by OS

operation or simply press the power button. If system error appears, press and

hold the power button for four seconds to shut down the machine directly.

Please note that a four-second interval between each two power-on/power-o

operation is necessary in normal working status. (For example, once turning

o the system, you have to wait for four seconds to initiate another power-on

operation).
