The SHUTDOWN button manually shuts down the Intrusion Detection System 
Module. To prevent corruption of the module, it is critical that you shut down the 
module properly. To properly shut down the switching module, session into the 
Intrusion Detection System Module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch console 
and enter the shutdown command. If the Intrusion Detection System Module fails 
to respond to the shutdown command, press the SHUTDOWN button to manually 
shut down the Intrusion Detection System Module.
Caution Do not remove the Intrusion Detection System Module from the switch until after 
the module shuts down completely. Removing the module without going through 
a shutdown procedure can damage the module.
Use a small pointed object, such as a paper clip, to access the SHUTDOWN button 
and turn off the Intrusion Detection System Module. The shutdown procedure 
may take several minutes.
The HD (hard drive) activity LED indicates when the hard drive is in use. 
The PCMCIA slot provides access for up to two standard PCMCIA cards and is 
reserved for future use.
