  5. The Backup computer will shut down and reboot. During this time, the Primary X-Changer and washer/dryers may appear to be frozen/unusable. This is normal behavior and will "free up" once the Backup computer has finished. Also, a network error will appear on the Primary X-Changer This is normal because it recognizes the Backup is offline.

Once all red lines have disappeared, walk around and verify the card readers appear normal, then proceed to Reboot Primary.
