This section describes how to power on and power off the VLS nodes.
Powering on the VLS12200 System

3. Plug the VLS nodes' AC power cords into a power source if not already connected.
4. Press the VLS secondary nodes' Power On/Standby button. After the secondary nodes are
powering up, press the primary node's Power On/Standby button.
5. Confirm that the VLS components are all functioning normally and the VLS is cabled correctly
by observing the condition of their status LEDs. The LED status should match those shown in
