Figure 54 Server Availability — Automatic Power-On screen
Setting Power-On Delay
Delay the server from turning on for the desired time. Pressing the power button (using the iLO
Virtual Power Button) Wake-ON LAN events and RTC (Real-Time Clock) wake-up events overrides
the delay and immediately turns on the server. This allows staggering when servers power-up after
a power loss to prevent power usage spikes.
To set Power-On Delay:
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration→BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU)→Server Availability and select Power-On Delay and press Enter.
2. Select one of the following options:
• No Delay (default)
• Random Delay
3. Press F10 to save your selection.
