Unattended/Automatic Shutdown
PowerPanel Business Edition software automatically saves open files and
gracefully shuts down the operating system in an intelligent and orderly fashion.
PowerPanel must be installed on every PC for which the shut down is to take place.
The PC receives SNMP messages directly from the PDU, and these messages can
be scheduled for an exact date/time, or can be performed immediately. Follow the
directions below for setting up Unattended/Automatic Shutdown.
Step 1. PC Configuration
1. Install PowerPanel Business Edition Client on every PC that will be part of the shut
down process. (Follow the instructions in the PowerPanel Business Edition Client
user manual).
2. Configure the settings in PowerPanel Business Edition Client. See the PowerPanel
Business Edition Client User Manual for additional help.
Step 2. PDU Configuration
1. Verify that the IP address of all PCs that will be part of the shut down process are
included in the Client List of web interface (For additional information, please refer
to the user’s manual in the PDU Software Installation CD).
Step 3. Notification
Notifying the PCs of potential outlet shutdown can be accomplished using the
following methods:
● Outlets Control Menu: Performing the task of turning off or rebooting outlets.
● Scheduling Menu: Setting the scheduler to perform the task of turning off or
rebooting outlets. The notification will occur prior to the scheduled date/time.
● Outlet Overload: In event of a PDU overload, notification will be sent prior to the
PDU shutting down.
