True, it's an EPO type switch on the front of the machine, but I'll guarantee that if that switch is down, no HMC or SE attached to it will bring the machine up! <grin>

Is there even a real Power On switch? I know there's an EPO switch and probably some circuit breakers in the back but I thought the power on/off was done from the SE or HMC?

And isn't the power switch pretty much in the center of the machine?
