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.

Procedures To Factory Restore Your Aurender 1. Make sure the unit is plugged in and the rear panel power switch is in the off position. 2. While pressing the front panel power button, switch on the back panel power switch. 3. Once the unit’s display shows the Aurender logo, release the front panel power button. 4. Wait for the recovery process to finish. Once the recovery is complete, the unit will reboot. Please note: After a factory reset recovery your system operating system may need to be updated.
