Powering off the system in the vehicle and a system in the data center is the same procedure. However, engineers at a customer site might have a computer within the vehicle that controls the power-off and power-on process.
Note: Engineers at your location might have the central computer within the vehicle programmed to perform a controlled software power-off of the system any time the vehicle is turned off. If that is the case, no need to perform this process to power-off the system in the vehicle.
Additional Information
