Safe Shutdown and Reboot
Overview
The PN9108U’s Safe Shutdown and Reboot functions are available for systems running Windows. Safe shutdown and reboot lets you safely close a system down and reboot it without involving the danger to the file systems that simply killing the power supply does. In order to use this function:
MYou must connect a Safe Shutdown Cable from the PN9108U to the computer (see Single Stage Installation, p. 12).
MYou must enable either Modem Ring Resume or System after AC back (but not both) in the computer BIOS’ Power Management settings.
Note: 1. The settings you select in the BIOS must match the settings you made in the Outlet Configuration dialog box (see p. 27).
2.If you choose Modem Ring Resume: 1) your system BIOS must support this function; and 2) check your computer manual to be sure the system supports the COM port External Modem Wakeup function, since some BIOS versions only support this function with an internal PCI card modem.
If your BIOS doesn’t support the COM port External Modem Wakeup function, you may wish to install an internal PCI card modem in order to use this function.
3.The wording for the Modem Ring Resume function may vary somewhat from system to system. For example:
MWake On LAN / Ring Connector
MModem Ring On
MPower On By External Modem
In the BIOS settings, choose Enabled.
