ŸEnable Unattended Start Mode (1=Yes, 0=No)

When

enabled,

Unattended

Start

Mode

will allow the system

to

recover

f

loss

of

AC power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the system was powered-on

when the AC loss occured,

the

system

wi

when power is restored. If the system was powered-off when the AC

 

occured,

the

system will

remain

off when power is restored.
