Important Notice Regarding the Power
Off Procedure
Should you ever have the need to turn off the AC power of your Aurender Music
Server, it is imperative to do so using the following procedure. Failure to do so may
result in unmounting or corrupting the internal SSD drive crippling or rendering the
unit inoperative:
To power down completely, depress the front panel power button until the power
indicator light begins to flash, then release.(0.5~1Sec) When the power indicator
flashing stops, the rear power switch may be switched to the off position.
Should your music server be powered down unexpectedly, for example, from a power
outage, then a full factory recovery may need to be run. Please refer to the procedure
in the next section.
