I always power down the column's that the CPU's are not in first usually the farest away. And then the column's with the CPU's last. I power back up the Column's with the CPU first and then the rest. Not everything always comes back up by itself. Sometimes I have had to enble some things. If you are using Meridian Mail I would do a shut down first. Not sure if you need to shutdown callpilot. Haven't shut one down since Callpilot was installed.

then i power down from the rear of the two cpu shelves.. then if i need to i power down each of the remaining col. i bring all the shelfs up then the cpu's, still from the rear of the switch.. by doing that, the loops can come up as well as the pri;s etc.. they are stable in the few minutes it takes for the cpu's to boot.. other power seq's tend to require the tech to enable conf/tds pris and maybe the controllers... if that is a dc switch, never touch the power switches on each shelf unless you have a spare on site. the dc ps's have a habit of working forever or until they are powered down and back up.. then they fail with no power out.. the 1st time i ran into that, i wired around the switch, didn't help.. i usually do a extra backup and have it in my shirt pocket.. i also make sure i have the install disk and keycodes, just in case.. if you do have to reload the switch you would need a new patch load (dep list).
