Confirmation
Required
If this option is enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), a dialog box
comes up asking you to confirm a power operation before it is
performed. If it is disabled (there is no check in the checkbox), the
operation is performed without confirmation.
Power ON
Delay
Sets the amount of time the eco PDU waits after the Power Button is
clicked (see Bank Status, page 46), before it powers on the outlet.
Note: The default delay time is 0 seconds; the maximum is 999 seconds. When a
series of outlets are scheduled to be powered up, they turn on in sequence with a
default delay of 10 milliseconds between each outlet.
Power OFF
Delay
Sets the amount of time the eco PDU waits after the Power Button is
clicked (see Bank Status, page 46), before it turns off the power to the
outlet.
For the System after AC Back option (see below), after the delay time
expires, the eco PDU waits another fifteen seconds, then shuts the
computer down.
The default delay time is 15 secs; the maximum delay time is 999 secs.
Remote Turn
ON Method
Use the drop-down menu to select one of the choices, below:
Wake on LAN: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this is
selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU first sends a
message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it then
waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to give the
OS time to close down before the computer is powered down to
standby mode.
Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the
amount time set in the Power On Delay field, then sends an Ethernet
message to the computer connected to the Outlet telling the computer
to turn itself On.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be running Windows
(98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program (available by
download from our website), must be installed and running on the computer.
System after AC Back: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If
this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the eco PDU first sends
a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it then
waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to give the
OS time to close down before the computer is powered down.
When the Outlet is turned On, the eco PDU waits for the amount time
set in the Power On Delay field, then sends power to the server.
When the server receives the power, it turns itself on.
Note: For Safe Shutdown and Reboot, the computer must be running Windows
(98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program (available by
download from our website), must be installed and running on the computer.
