±Enable supplemental restart policy - The default setting is Yes. When set to Yes, the service processor restarts the system when the system loses control as detected by service processor surveillance, and either:

The Use OS-Defined restart policy is set to No.

OR

The Use OS-Defined restart policy is set to Yes, and the operating system has no automatic restart policy.

±Call-Out before restart (Enabled/Disabled) - If a restart is necessary due to a system fault, and you are running a full system partition, you can enable the service processor to call out and report the event. This option can be valuable if the number of these events becomes excessive, which might signal a bigger problem.

v Power-On System

Allows immediate power-on of the system.

vPower-Off System

This option is not available on this system.

vEnable/Disable Fast System Boot

Allows the user to select the IPL type, mode, and speed of the system boot.

Attention: Selecting the fast IPL results in several diagnostic tests being skipped and a shorter memory test being run.
