290 Logical Partitions on System i5
Figure 10-6 shows an example of the confirmation you will receive when you successfully
power on the system.
Figure 10-6 Example: Power on confirm
Auto power restart
You can set your system to automatically restart. This function is useful when power has
been restored after an unexpected power line disturbance had caused the system to be shut
down unexpectedly. Select either Enable or Disable from the example shown in Figure 10-7).
By default, the auto power restart value is set to Disable. In many cases, you might not want
the system to restart automatically unless you are reasonably certain that the power problem
has been resolved.

Immediate power off
You can power off the system quickly using the immediate power off function shown in
Figure 10-8. Typically this option is used when an emergency power off is needed. The
operating system is not notified before the system is powered off.
Attention: To avoid experiencing data loss and a longer IPL the next time the system or
logical partitions are booted, shut down the operating system prior to performing an
immediate power off.
