If you start up the system while the "OS Boot Monitoring" function remains enabled, the
Server Blade may automatically turn off or restart unexpectedly. If the OS Boot
Monitoring function is needed, it should be reset to enabled before resuming normal
server operation.
When setting this function, refer to "ServerView User's Guide" to fully learn about its
specifications, in order to set it correctly.
