3. Configure power cycle options.
4. When finished, click Apply.
Use the options below to configure power cycle alerts.
• When an event is received: Shut down/reboot—The type of power cycle (shutdown or
reboot) to occur when a configured event is received.
• Seconds before the power cycle is initiated—The amount of time between when an
event is received and when the power cycle take place. A warning appears on the
computer's screen showing the number of seconds until shutdown or reboot; this allows
time to save data and close applications. If this option is set to 0 no warning is given.
• Number of power cycles alerts before you must acknowledge—How many times the
computer will be shut down or rebooted before requiring you to acknowledge that you
want it to continue power cycling when an event occurs. This is useful in cases
where the power cycle is triggered by an event that will not be corrected by reboot. For
example, it is possible to set an alert to cause a power cycle when a drive space
threshold is crossed. Because a power cycle will not affect drive space usage, when the
computer is powered on again, drive space usage will still exceed the threshold and will
generate another event, causing another power cycle. Requiring acknowledgement after
a certain number of power cycles before proceeding with another power cycle prevents
the computer from continuously shutting down without allowing you to fix the problem.
• Current number of alerts that caused a power cycle—The number of alert-driven
power cycles that have occurred since the last acknowledgement.
• Acknowledge—Resets the current number of alert-driven power cycles to zero.
