POST and the starting of the operating system. If this interval is
exceeded, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II generates a loader timeout
alert and automatically restarts the server. After the server is restarted,
the loader timeout is automatically disabled until the operating system is
shut down and the server is power cycled (or until the operating system
starts and the software is successfully loaded).
To set the loader timeout value, select the time limit that the Remote
Supervisor Adapter II will wait for the operating-system startup to be
completed. To turn off this watchdog, select Disabled.
Notes:
a. Before you start (boot) an operating system that does not have the
Remote Supervisor Adapter II software installed (this can also
include using a flash update diskette), make sure to select Disabled
in the Loader watchdog field to prevent an unwanted restart of
your server.
b. If the Loader Time-out check box is selected in the Remote Alerts
area of the Alerts page, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II will send
an alert to all configured remote alert recipients.
Power
off delay
Attention: Read the following information to prevent the loss of data
or damage to data when you perform a remote shutdown of your
operating system:
If the Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Red Hat Linux, SUSE
Linux, or Novell NetWare operating system is installed on your
server, you have to install only the Remote Supervisor Adapter II
software to support remote operating-system shutdown.
Note: If the value in the Power off delay field is less than 45
seconds, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II software will
adjust the value to 45 seconds when it is loaded. You can
decrease the power-off delay value after the server has
started, but the Remote Supervisor Adapter II software will
reset it to 45 seconds on the next server restart. The Remote
Supervisor Adapter II software will not change a power-off
delay value that is 45 seconds or greater.
Use
the Power off delay field to specify the number of minutes that the
Remote Supervisor Adapter II will wait for the operating system to shut
down before turning off the server.
Shut down your server to determine how long it takes to shut down. Add
a time buffer to that value and use it as your power-off delay setting to
ensure that the operating system has time for an orderly shutdown
before power is removed from the server.
To set the power-off delay value, select the time from the menu.
NMI reset delay
Use the NMI reset delay field to specify the length of time, in minutes,
that the Remote Supervisor Adapter II waits to automatically restart the
server after a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) is triggered. A nonmaskable
interrupt usually indicates a critical error such as a hardware fault. A
nonmaskable interrupt usually signals a parity error in the memory
subsystem.
