-DiRich'' and a ``Reboot ECal'' before.
+Special attention is needed after a power cycle!

 a ''Fix missing IP`` and another DAQ restart.
 
-%   \item There is a ''Trigger`` error every now and then, from a board in RICH (70a7), which also 
-% causes some ''Evt w/ errors``. This is a known, but no real issue and can be ignored.

+  \item   There are a couple of recent issues with MDC DAQ, where power cycles or reboots are not

-ECal and STS likely need some manual action to get proper settings for all front-ends again (see

+\item If you do a reboot of DiRich and Combiners at once: Make a short pause after rebooting 
+DiRich, and check there are less than 900 boards missing from RICH. If it's more, do a DAQ restart 
+before rebooting Combiners.
