SNAP Shutdown

Phoenix32 · 10-13-2006, 12:08 AM

Okay, let's try another little interesting item.

How about a SNAP server that shuts down instantly when you press the power switch, instead of the normal shutdown procedure?

In this case, OS v3.4.805, v3.4.807, v4.0.830, and v4.0.860 have all been tried, each flashed several different times. It's not the Drives, Power Supply, or Switch Harness because when you move the Main Board to another SNAP server, the problem moves with it. It has been reset back to factory defaults numerous times as well. Everything else appears to work fine, no other problems. It just shuts down instantly instead of going through the normal shut down.

Ideas anyone?

Does the shutdown cmd work through software?

Is that just press and release?

Or press and hold?

Cause it can be like the soft power buttons on a pc, press the button and it does software shut down, press and hold and it does a hard power off

No. I do not think it is supported in the 4000 units. I have tried using it on all three 4000 units I have and it always says it is shutting down and never does anything. I will try again.

Okay, I tried this (on all 3 SNAP 4000), same results for all...

This is the command from the debug menu (as it shows from the help menu)

power off (turn off the power, where supported)

This is the results

10/13/2006 11:08:57 Command: power off

Setting the power switch to 'off'...

------------
Command executed without error.

But nothing ever happens. I can only assume this is not supported in the SNAP 4000 units.

Usually instant off vs delay off is set in the bios of a computer. Perhaps someone hacked this one you are talking about...

Well, ya know, I was wondering the same exact thing. Funny how this is also the unit that I told David had a WORKING COM PORT inside that I could log into with a serial connector and that I knew this because it had a cable connected there when I got it. Maybe I should go back and look at those commands again and see if there is more there than in the Debug menu. Now I need a good terminal program (better than hyperlink).
