Configuring the System Power Restore Settings

The System Power Restore Settings section enables you to control system behavior after power is
lost. You can also configure these settings by using the system RBSU during POST. You must have
the Configure iLO Settings privilege to change the System Power Restore Settings.

To change the System Power Restore Settings:
1.

Navigate to the Power Management

→Server Power page, as shown in

Figure 77 (page 145)

.

2.

Select or clear the Auto Power-On check box.

This setting enables iLO to power on a server when power is applied, such as when the server
is plugged in, or when a UPS is activated after a power outage.

If power is unexpectedly lost while the server is powering up, the server always powers back
on, even if Auto Power-On is disabled.

3.

Select a Power-On Delay value.

This setting staggers server automatic power-on in a data center. It determines the amount of
time iLO delays before powering on a server after iLO startup is complete.

The following options are available:

Minimum Delay—Power-on occurs after iLO startup is complete.

15 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 15 seconds.

30 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 30 seconds.

45 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 45 seconds.

60 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 60 seconds.

Random up to 120 seconds—The power-on delay varies and can be up to 120 seconds.

4.

Click Submit.
