Matan,
A full power-down can be problematic. I would recommend that you spend the
extra money to get an IBM FE on site to ensure that all machines are powered
down correctly. Most sites I work at haven't powered down in years, so they
do not know the procedures. Also, your older equipment may go belly up just
from the power off, power on process. I once had to move 6 3174
controllers, and 3 of the power supplies and one of the diskette drives
failed on startup.
Good luck,
Tom Conley
