Policy Setting Name

Restore AC Power Threshold

Description

Typical use for these settings are:

Set the minimum and maximum threshold limits and leave the "Threshold value" field 

blank. This sets a limit for the range, but allows the threshold value to be modified in 

the user interface.

Set "Threshold value" and leave the "Minimum threshold limit" and "Maximum 

threshold limit" blank. This value will be locked and cannot be modified in the user 

interface.

To set a range for the threshold limits, enter the Minimum (1 - 100) and Maximum (Minimum - 

100) values. If a minimum or maximum limit is not within the client system's minimum or 

maximum capabilities, the client system's minimum or maximum limit will be used.

NOTE: The system will use default values if invalid values are set.
