Note: This Power Restore Delay option applies only to powering on when AC is applied.
It has no effect on powering the system up using the Power Button on the Front Panel. A
DC power on using the Power Button is not delayed.
The purpose of this delay is to avoid having all systems draw “startup surge” power at
the same time. Different systems or racks of systems can be set to different delay times
to spread out the startup power draws. Alternatively, all systems can be set to Automatic,
and then each system will wait for a random period before powering up.

6. Power Restore Delay Value
Option Values: [Entry Field 25 300, 25 is default]
Help Text:
Fixed time period 25-300 seconds for Power Restore Delay.
Comments: When the power restore policy is Power On or Last State, and the
Power Restore Delay selection is Fixed, this field allows for specifying how long in
seconds that fixed delay will be.
When the Power Restore Delay is Disabled or Auto, this field will be grayed out and
unavailable.
The Power Restore Delay Value setting is maintained by BIOS. This setting does not
take effect until a reboot is done. Early in POST, the Power Restore Policy is read from
the BMC, and if the policy is Power On or Last State, the delay settings are sent to the
BMC. When the Power Restore Delay setting is Fixed, this delay value is used to
provide the length of the delay.

7. Clear System Event Log
Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
If enabled, clears the System Event Log. All current entries will be lost.
Note: This option is reset to [Disabled] after a reboot.
Comments: This option sends a message to the BMC to request it to clear the
System Event Log. The log will be cleared, and then the “Clear” action itself will be
logged as an event. This gives the user a time/date for when the log was cleared.
