The first communication channel and the second communication channel are each separately exchange communications between the information processing apparatus and the auxiliary device. The circuitry obtains failure information indicating a communication failure occurring in the first communication channel, sends a shutdown instruction via the second communication channel in response to a determination to reboot the information processing apparatus, the shutdown instruction instructing the auxiliary device to shut down, and reboots the information processing apparatus.
