Schedule Server Shutdown...
You can configure PowerChute plus to shut down your server periodically. From the System menu, choose Schedule Server Shutdown... to display the dialog box:
.
The dialog box has two main areas:
Weekly shutdown parameters always take precedence over daily shutdown parameters.
For example, if you configure daily shutdown for 5:30 p.m. and weekly shutdown for Friday at 5:00 p.m., your system shuts down at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and at 5:30 p.m. on every other day.
To schedule a shutdown, perform the following steps:
- Mark the check-box for Daily Shutdown or Weekly Shutdown.
- Enter a shutdown time and reboot time for the type of shutdown you selected, and select am or pm.
- If you enabled Weekly Shutdown, choose a day for shutdown and a day for reboot from the drop-down list boxes.
- Specify a value in the Shutdown Delay field to set the time period between the first shutdown warning message and the beginning of the shutdown.
- Specify a value in the UPS Turn Off Delay list box to set the time period the UPS waits after server shutdown before going into sleep mode. (In sleep mode, the UPS conserves energy by turning off its power outlets and no longer supplies power to connected equipment).
- Click OK to save the new values or Cancel to exit without saving any changes.
Note:
During the shutdown delay before a scheduled shutdown begins, you can cancel the shutdown by using the Cancel Server Shutdown option of the System menu. This menu option is available only when a shutdown is about to begin.
