the back of the power supply will eliminate all power to the system.
The power button should be depressed 3-5 seconds to initiate a graceful shutdown or to power on the device when the

Warning: A hard reset of the system could cause data corruption and should be avoided. Halt or reboot the system
through the console menu or the GUI to avoid data corruption.
USB Ports
USB ports on the device can be used for a variety of purposes.
The primary use for the USB ports is to install or reinstall the operating system on the device. Beyond that, there
are numerous USB devices which can expand the base functionality of the hardware, including some supported by
add-on packages. For example, UPS/Battery Backups, Cellular modems, GPS units, and storage devices. Though the
operating system also supports wired and wireless network devices, these are not ideal and should be avoided.
