 === HOW TO MANUALLY RE-START 26M DRIVES ===
+**Last ditch remote attempt**
+Before trying the manual re-start it is advisable to try the remote reset via the v-desk terminal on newsmerd.
+  * ''vncviewer newsmerd:1''
+  * open a terminal and type ''vdesk''
+  * In the vdesk terminal type ''drvon''
+  * In the vdesk terminal type ''slew''. The antenna position should change to 0 for both X and Y on the drive control panel near the back door (swivel the webcam to confirm this). If this happens, the drives are operational and try your normal setup. If nothing happens continue with the next steps
+  * In the vdesk terminal type ''drvoff''
+  * In the vdesk terminal type ''abort''
+  * In the vdesk terminal type ''drvon''
+  * In the vdesk terminal type ''slew''The antenna position should change to 0 for both X and Y on the drive control panel near the back door (swivel the webcam to confirm this). If this happens, the drives are operational and try your normal setup. You can make it stow again by typing ''park''. If nothing happens, panic a little, you'll probably need to go out to the site and do the manual reset listed below might be worth calling the on-call person or Brett for help.
+**Manual Reset**
 If the antenna's drives get stuck, then the drives may need to manually restarted up at Mt P.
