TEXT:

WORKAROUND:
If the system shuts down due to a catastrophic failure, un-plug the AC cord and wait about 10 seconds before connecting again. Power the system once AC cord is connected. If system does not respond, remove AC cord and then replace the 5V regulator card at the rear of system. Plug AC cord and re-start.
