Shutting down your PromethION
The PromethION's computer requires a stepwise, processed shutdown, otherwise you may face problems e.g. when recognising flow cells.
Follow the instruction in this section to ensure you do not face errors with your PromethION from incorrectly shutting down your device.
-
Ensure none of the flow cells are running an experiment.
An indication no experiments are running is the lack of an experiment status bar beneath individual flow cells.
-
Once the screen goes blank, turn off the sequencing module and tower via the switch at the rear of the device.
-
If connecting to a device remotely using a computer not directly connected to the device, close down the MinKNOW application window.
