When you attempt to preempt another user or Admin, a Message appears on your screen, and a Preempt Warning appears on the screen of the user or Admin.

These messages appear for the time assigned in the Timeout Seconds field set through either the local OSD or the HP IP Console Viewer. If the user you are preempting does not respond within the selected time, the user is disconnected and the preemption is granted.
