NOTE:
Due to fluctuations in the Auto Recovery timer, the Last Crash Screen may
not be captured when the System Reset Timer is configured with a value that is too
high. The default setting is 480 seconds. Use Server Administrator or IT Assistant to
set the System Reset Timer to 60 seconds and ensure that the
Last Crash Screen
functions properly. See "Configuring the Managed Server to Capture the Last Crash
Screen" for additional information.
