Ship systems and equipment were off for several weeks during the dry dock period. Part of the shakedown period includes literally turning on the power and rebooting all of the onboard computer systems to ensure the software is working and up-to-date. One computer in particular took a long time to bring online as the system had to install a lot of updates—120,641 to be exact.
