Remote Shutdown
The PT22 supports the ability to initiate an orderly shutdown of remote servers, protecting open
application files prior to the server being powered down. Shutdown signaling is initiated over the
existing TCP/IP network and requires the use of a Remote Shutdown Agent.
With the Remote Shutdown Agent installed on the server and Shutdown configured on the PT22, the
unit will initiate an orderly shutdown of the server for all actions that would remove power from the
outlet such as Off and Reboot commands.
1. Off or Reboot command received by the PT22
2. Shutdown signal is sent to the Remote Shutdown Agent on the target server.
3. Remote Shutdown Agent initiates a graceful shutdown of the target server and includes the
ability to execute user-defined scripts to perform custom activities, such as safely shutting
down open databases.
4. PT22 removes power from the outlet.
NOTE: Remote Shutdown is also supported by the extended feature set of Smart Load-Shedding. Graceful shutdown is
initiated by Smart Load-Shedding events such as high temperature, high infeed load and UPS ‘On Battery’ conditions. For
additional information on Smart Load-Shedding, please contact your Server Technology sales representative.
