• Vent or pumpdown the MSD
• View the firmware version and serial number of the MSD

Power switch
The power switch is part of the electronics module, and is located on the lower
left of the front of the MSD. It is used to turn the MSD and foreline pump on
and off.

The front panel LED shows the current instrument status through a color
code, as shown in Table 16 on page 213.
Do not switch the MSD off unless it has completed the vent program. Incorrect
shutdown can seriously damage the MSD.
