Shutting down your GridION
The GridION's computer requires a stepwise, processed shut down, otherwise you may face problems e.g. when recognising flow cells.
Follow the instructions in this section to ensure you do not face errors with your GridION 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. -
Turn off the device at the mains supply, if you are using mains power.
-
If connecting to a device remotely using a computer not directly connected to the device, close down the MinKNOW application window.
