Power Resume Delay: The amount of time to wait before turning the port on in seconds. This is
used to prevent a surge in power from all devices turning on at the same time. Applies only
when the unit initially powers on and if “All On” is selected in the RPM Status page.

shutdown signal through the RS-232 connectors to the computer attached to the corresponding
port as soon as the shutdown command is sent.
To activate support of the shutdown command on the computer, the operating system must be
