GETTING STARTED
Boot Up – Safe Power Down
Each IPitomy IP PBX is equipped with a Boot Up/Safe Power Down momentary switch at the front of the chassis.
This switch is a primary element of controlling not only the hardware but the Operating System (OS) and PBX
software. If it becomes necessary to use this switch – especially when powering down – it is imperative that you
read and understand the functionality of this switch.

Use of this switch is very convenient and VERY specific.
Improper use can cause very undesirable results.

The switch has three functions:
(Use 1 & 2 only – unless directed to use the 3
rd
function by a technical support
representative). Repeatedly turning off the power with a hard boot can damage
(corrupt) the data on the hard drive. In some instances, this can void the warranty.
