danielwestdijk 2 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi all, When I shut my PC down, I see that my cdu unit remains powered. The backlighting remains on and the welcome screen (with red pulsating dots below) remains showing the entire time. I cannot imagine that this should be the case. I would rather have it turn off as soon as my computer shuts down. I also don't want to unplug the unit every time I don't need it or if I shut down the computer. Is there a way to manually shut the CDU down or is it a bug that the unit remains powered? Looking forward to hearing from you. Daniel W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Aerosoft Team 51548 Posted June 29, 2021 Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2021 See what USB connections on your motherboard keep power when the computer is off. Most have ones that switch off and some that stay powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielwestdijk 2 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 All my USB ports are 3.0 and therefore powered after shutdown. If I plug it in it is powered. I don't want the CDU to be powered on all the time and I don't want to plug it out to turn it off. There must be another way around this, right?

Administrator Aerosoft Team 51548 Posted June 29, 2021 Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2021 I am sure CockpitMasters will respond to this. Personally I use and USB hub with on/off buttons for every port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi in this case you will have to unplug it or set up your motherboard to be powered off when PC is shutdown. We have notice this issue actually and we will see to set up proper shutdown function in the next FW update, if possible. We will announce it when this is ready. Meantime please bear with us. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielwestdijk 2 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Thank you for your honest reply. I would definitely appreciate a soft shutdown function encoded in the software. Thanks, Matthijs, for the suggestions but my usb hub is mounted under my desk near my feet. It would be quite a thing to have to down all the times. As a temporary workaround, I have enabled the ErP function within the bios to have the USB ports unpowered whenever the machine is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
