Setting the power-on delay

Use the Power-On Delay option to set whether to delay the server from turning on for a specified time. This option enables staggering when the server powers up after a power loss, which can prevent power usage spikes.
NOTE:

These events override the Power-On Delay setting and immediately power on the server:

  • Pressing the power button using the iLO Virtual Power Button

  • Wake-ON LAN events

  • RTC (Real-Time Clock) wake-up events

Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > System Options > Server Availability > Power-On Delay.
  2. Select a setting.

    • 15 Second Delay

    • 30 Second Delay

    • 45 Second Delay

  3. Save your setting.
