connected to the local K2 client, in AppCenter select
System | Shutdown , then select Shutdown
or Restart and OK . AppCenter exits, Windows shuts down and powers off the K2 client.
• Do a local shutdown/restart via Windows. Assuming a keyboard, monitor, and mouse is connected
to the local K2 client, if AppCenter is not open, you can use the normal Windows procedure to
shutdown. You can also do this type of shutdown/restart using the Windows Remote Desktop
Connection.
• In the SiteConfig tree view right-click the K2 Client and select Shutdown or Restart .
• Do a remote shutdown/restart via the K2Config application. In the tree view select the K2 client
and then click
Shutdown or Restart .
• Do a local hard shutdown. Use this method only when there is a problem that prevents you from
using one of the other methods for an orderly shutdown. To do a hard shutdown, hold down the
standby button for approximately five seconds. To restart, press the standby button again.
