Summary: Power switch on AT&T 3Bs


For every 3B2 I have worked with, toggling the power switch to "standby"
(i.e., off) will perform a soft powerdown, provided the console terminal
is plugged in and turned on (log-in not required). They also all have
a "reset" switch, which apparently is nothing more than a circuit
breaker at the power supply; hitting this will usually cause the
SYSTEM FAILURE message and firmware mode.  From this point the toggle
switch will power the machine off, but the reboot will require a
file system check.

I am not as familiar with the 3B5/15/20 machines, but I do know that
there is a master power supply switch in the cabinet.  All of these are
much easier to perform than pulling the plug from the wall ( or out
from under a raised floor).
