Reboot
UPS
Restarts the attached equipment by doing the following:
• Turns off power at the UPS after Shutdown Delay.
• Turns on power at the UPS after the UPS battery capacity returns to at least the
percentage configured for Minimum Battery Capacity or can support the load for the
time configured for Return Runtime Duration. (The parameter differs by UPS model.)
The UPS then waits the time specified as Return Delay. See The shutdown option.
• For a UPS with outlet groups, Power On Delay occurs after the UPS turns on and
before an outlet group turns on. On the UPS tab, you configure Power On Delay for
each outlet group by using the settings option under Outlet Groups. See The settings
option (including automatic load-shedding).
For a Synchronized Control Group action:
1. This option turns off power at the UPSs that are enabled group members after waiting
the time configured as Shutdown Delay for the initiating UPSs. See The shutdown
option.
2. The initiating UPS waits up to the number of seconds specified as Power
Synchronized Delay to allow time for group members to regain input power. If all
group members already regained input power, this delay is omitted. If all group
members regain input power during the delay, the rest of the delay is cancelled. To
configure Power Synchronized Delay, see Configure a Synchronized Control Group
member.
3. Return Delay starts when the initiating UPS is at its configured Minimum Battery
Capacity (or Return Runtime Duration). See The shutdown option.
Minimum Battery Capacity (or Return Runtime Duration) of the initiating UPS is
also required of group members. But you can reduce a group member’s requirement
by configuring that member’s Minimum Battery Capacity Offset (or Return Runtime
Duration Offset), e.g, if the initiator’s Minimum Battery Capacity is 50%, and a
member’s Minimum Battery Capacity Offset is 5%, that member needs battery
capacity of 45% to reboot. See Configure a Synchronized Control Group member.

• This action is similar to Reboot UPS, but with an additional delay before the shutdown.
Attached equipment shuts down only after the UPS (or the initiating UPS for a
Synchronized Control Group action) waits the Maximum Required Delay, which is
calculated as described in PowerChute Network Shutdown parameters.
• For a UPS with outlet groups, Power On Delay occurs after the UPS turns on and
before an outlet group turns on. On the UPS tab, you configure Power On Delay for
each outlet group through the settings option under Outlet Groups. See The settings
option (including automatic load-shedding).
