RE: Power off and on tasks

Greg,

The front beauty panel does not affect the operation of the system. It does
sometimes take a little work to get the panels and the locking arms to set
correctly.

You mentioned earlier that your key was set to NORMAL. What model AS/400 do
you have? Do you have a brass key that slips into a lock and rotates to
different settings, or do you have a black plastic key that fits into a slot
in the front panel?

Do you have any MODE lights near the key? If so, which one is lit up?

I just thought of another possible reason my power off does not work.  It
seems really remote to me but here it is:

When the FE left he did not properly secure the front panel to the AS400.
It actually fell off in the middle of the day.   I tried to secure it back
on but did not want to jiggle and bang on a running computer too much.
There is a key that gets rotated to extend two arms into a recess on each
side.  I could not get these arms to go all the way in and the key could
only rotate about half way.  I did notice that these arms lift up on a
lever.  Perhaps the machine knows the front is not on properly.

Is this too much of a stretch? Anyone out there know hardware?

Greg
