• Always Remain Off—The server remains off until directed to power on.
• Restore Last Power State—Returns the server to the power state when power was lost. If
the server was on, it powers on; if the server was off, it remains off.
This option is the default setting.
Power-On Delay
The Power-On Delay setting staggers server automatic power-on in a data center. It determines
the amount of time that iLO waits before powering on a server after iLO startup is complete. This
setting is not supported with micro-UPS systems.
On supported servers, choose from the following Power-On Delay settings:
•
Minimum Delay—Power-on occurs after iLO startup is complete.
• 15 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 15 seconds.
• 30 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 30 seconds.
• 45 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 45 seconds.
• 60 Second Delay—Power-on is delayed by 60 seconds.
• Random up to 120 seconds—The power-on delay varies and can be up to 120 seconds.
Viewing server power usage
Power meter graphs display recent server power usage. Power history information is not collected
when the server is powered off. When you view a graph that includes periods in which the server
was powered off, the graph displays a gap to indicate that data was not collected.
The graph data is cleared when iLO is reset or the server is power cycled. For example, the data is
cleared when you use the Virtual Power Button Reset or Cold Boot actions, but it is not cleared
when you use the Momentary Press or Press and Hold actions.
