ŸTimed power-on - refershutdownto the- command on servers using AIX.

Working		in	conjunction with AIX,				the Service Processor in your		server	can
operate		a	timer,		much like the		wake-up timer on your clock radio. You can				set
the	timer		so	that	your	server	powers on	at a certain time	after	shutting	do
The	timer		is	battery-operated,			so power	interruptions that occur while the			se
is off do not affect its accuracyshutdown. Refer-ttocommandthe forAIX
details		on	setting		the	timer.

Note: If an ac power loss is in progress when the Timed Power-On attempt occurs, the server is not able to power on when ac power is restored.

ŸFollow-up to a Failed Boot Attempt

The service processor initiates a power-on sequence if a failed boot attempt detected (due to a hardware or software failure).

ŸFast/Slow Boot (IPL) Capabilities

Using the service processor menus, you can select the IPL type, mode, and speed of your boot capabilities.

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