Chapter 10: Configuring the HP Server
93
When you select an item from the Config menu, the utility reads the configuration data of that item
from the BMC and creates a setup page containing those values. The setup pages may have drop-
down boxes, edit boxes, and/or buttons. Use the <Tab>, <F5>, or Down arrow keys to move
forward, and use <F6> or Up arrow keys to move backwards between each item.
Press the <Enter> key while on a drop-down box to display the other options available. Then use
the arrow keys to move up or down the list. Press the <Enter> key to select an item from the drop-
down box. Each item in the drop-down boxes displays a brief description in the tip-view window.
Use the <Esc> key to exit from any level of the configuration to a previous level.
Save the configuration data by selecting the <Save> button and pressing <Enter>. Use the
<Cancel> button or <Esc> key to abort changes and return to the main window.
Platform Setup
The Platform setup page lets you configure platform-specific features, including the accelerated cool-
down period.
Accelerated Cool Down
This feature lets you enable the system to cool down more rapidly when the system is powered off.
Set the accelerated cool-down timeout in seconds. The range is 0 to 65535 seconds. If accelerated
cool-down is enabled, that is, the cool-down time is not 0, the BMC leaves the system fans running
for the specified time after the system is powered down.
Power Setup
The Power setup page is used to configure these power features:
Power Feature
Description
Power Restore Policy Determines what happens when the system
loses and then regains AC power. The
choices are:
• Always on: The system is powered on
after AC power is restored.
• Always off: The system will be left
powered off after AC power is
restored.
• Restore Power state: The system is
restored to its previous on or off state
before AC power was lost. This is the
default.
Power Restore Delay The delay in seconds before the power
restore policy is enacted. The range is 0 to
15 seconds.
Power Cycle Delay The delay in seconds between power cycles.
The range is 0 to 255 seconds, where 0 is the
default value. For this period of time after the
system is turned off, the BMC ignores the
front panel power switch if anyone attempts
to turn the system back on.
