There's a little secret about the 5501 which Søren hasn't sad much
about yet: The 5501 has a simple "lights out" feature on the console
port.

On your serial console type
        +++
wait second or so then type
        reset <ENTER>

If instead of "reset" you type "power", the powersupply will shut
down for a few seconds.

I belive this only works at 19200 speed.

Enjoy, and thanks a lot Søren!
