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

an FRB-2 timer, it is initially set to allow 6 minutes for POST to complete.
However, the FRB-2 Timer is suspended during times when some lengthy operations are in
progress, like executing Option ROMS, during Setup, and when BIOS is waiting for a password.
or for input to the F6 BBS Boot Menu. The FRB-2 Timer is also suspended while POST is
