The key is to hold the shut button down for a couple seconds (say 5).

We bought a used DSP90 to replace our DSP80, and of course we did not get the "using your DSP90 ..." book since the box was used. I've been able to figure out that on the DSP90 I must push both the reset buttons at once in order to reset the node, but I have not been able to get the shutdown button to work. I press it and nothing happens. When I press both of the reset buttons, then the light above the shutdown button comes on briefly before the DSP90 starts its diagnostic sequence and the salvol of the boot volume. Could someone run through their DSP90 handbook and tell me if our shutdown button is broken, or whether I'm just misusing it? (we're running SR9.7 on a DSP90-3MB with two MSD-500M disks). -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)

Come to think of it, that's the second time I've referred to that book ever! Well, according to Operating the DSP80A/DSP90 (revision 1 November '85) you just press the button, though I would say that on my 80A (I don't need no steenking 68020!) you do have to hold the button pressed for about a second before the thing will shutdown.

The dsp90 manual states that one should hold down the shutdown switch until the LED above the shutdown switch lights. This indicates shutdown has started.
