Explanation:
Hello

"Redémarrage" is used everywhere for this type of system -think Windows- although "redémarreur" is used less and often in italics or with a smiley as in the second reference.
But the word is easily understood and gives you the verb too that you'll need in the translation.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Tony M: But this describes a different function: e.g. an auto-reboot facility if it crashes. The device here deliberately cycles the equipment through power down / power up (possibly more than once)

  -> Hello Tony. The text said "...if that machine becomes unresponsive during operation" which for me is a crash (hanging is type of crash). Otherwise a simple on/off switch could be said to power down/power up a device (possibly more than once).

Notes to answerer
Asker: I used "système d'arrêt et de redémarrage" because this is a good translation and you did not provide yours yet. Thanks a lot for your excellent contribution.
