  If the system detected that the emergency button has been pressed, or the hardware safety mechanism has been triggered: 1. Release the emergency button and/or the Emergency button on the extended cable. 2. Run a system Self-Test. * If the Self-Test completes without any further errors the system can return to normal operation. * If the Self-Test cannot be complete, restart the system and retry. If the Self-Test continues to fail, there is no other solution.
