: '''If you want to see the visual steps for "Powering Up Computer LabProcedures for Managing Workstations", here is a link to a customized YouTube video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3fb_AZUy7k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3fb_AZUy7k]
===== Log-off and Power Down all Workstations =====
[[Image:italc7.png|thumb|350px|'''Confirmation Dialog box to confirm log-off and shutdown of all active computer accounts'''. ]]
:'''Prior to shutting down students' workstations, all students are required to correctly save their work, and close all applications. The instructor can use the Italc application to verify that the students have correctly performed those tasks.'''
:In order to log-off active student accounts and shutdown the workstation CPUs, simple click on the PowerDown button. The instructor will be prompted to confirm shutdown of all active accounts. When the instructors confirms yes, all of the students' accounts will be logged-out and the workstation CPUs will be powered down within 2 seconds! Due to the architecture of this lab, this is not dangerous, and does not pose a risk to students' loss of work.
: The instructor can now proceed with "Grabbing Student Work", and/or "Shutting Down the Computer Lab" :''': NOTE: The Power-on button does not work, and can be ignored since the user can start all workstations by clicking the Start Workstations icon in the Teacher's desktop. This application does not allow remote student or automatic student login from the Teacher account. The reasons for these restrictions are based on security.
