How to reboot Mercury crate

Go into the Electronics room, locate and press  the reset button on the leftmost board in the Mercury Crate (see schematic below). This causes the crate to reset and in the process of rebooting it reloads the relevant programs automatically from phobosx. (The vxworks startup script used is mercury@phobosx:~/system/etc/mercury.vxw).

After allowing a couple of minutes for the crate to reset, you need to come back to the DAQ  xterm and follow the DAQ procedures outlined here.

Please DONOT try to toggle the power switch on this crate, without the express supervision of Andrei/Pradeep/Piotr..
