Caution: This method of shutting down a K6 chassisis not recommended except as a last resort,
because all processes currently running on the K6 chassiswill be interrupted resulting in loss of
frames.
Precaución: No se recomienda utilizar este método para apagar un chasis K6. Recurra a él sólo
como último recurso, puesto que interrumpe todos los procesos del chasis K6 en funcionamiento,
lo que podría resultar pérdidas de frames.
