<span style="color: rgb(200, 0, 0);"><u>'''There are two important power buttons''' </u></span>
: The button on the console with the ring of light controls the power to the rack. This light changes colors when the rack is powered up.
: The HLU has a button with a light within it. Press this button to turn on and off the HLU unit

'''There are times that the MEG rack needs to be rebooted.'''
* If the Acq starts with some noisy channels, usually restarting the Acq will make the noise go away.
* If the HLU does not work, you must reboot the entire rack.

To restart (reboot) the rack:


*Fundamentals for NIH:
# First you power off the rack. Press the button on the console.
**BASH training: https://hpc.nih.gov/training/bash_class/
# Next you must power off the HLU box which is located on top of the new rack. Press it to turn off the HLU.
**More biowulf classes: https://hpc.nih.gov/training/
# Return to the console and power the rack back on.
**Club MEG - training presentations: https://megcore.nih.gov/index.php?title=Club_MEG#Previous_Tutorials_and_Training
# Wait about 10 seconds.
# Next, turn the HLU box back on.
# Now you can launch Acq.
