• MPC SHUTDOWN TYPE
• EXECUTE: Choose either ‘REBOOT’ or ‘POWERDOWN’ in the TYPE
data display. Press the <ESC> key to do neither and return to the last
menu. Choosing REBOOT will cause the MPC to reboot. Choosing
POWERDOWN will power down the internal embedded PC. The keypad
will be unusable again until the power switch is turned off, then on, and
the VFD is visible again.
* The MPC is designed for continuous operation. However, if you need to power down the unit, it
is recommended that you always use the MPC Shutdown Type menu, see above. Then give the
internal operating system a few minutes to flush its cache buffers to the hard drive, and turn off
the power at the power switch.
