I got the AP7920B, which is the switch to handle the power, i want to ask the details of the this model, is it possible to have timer to set the time for Turn on / turn off time. For example like,  i would like to turn on this switch on 10AM, off at 6PM, is that possible to do that on this AP7920B? please advise.

Hi, yes, you should be able to do this no problem. You can schedule one time, daily, or weekly actions on Switched Rack PDUs like AP7920B.

Through the web (and you can accomplish this through command line interface too), go to Configuration->RPDU->Switched Outlet->Scheduling.

You'll get here:

I believe you'll need to do two separate actions though - turn on at X time and then a separate one for turn off at X time - for one time, daily, or weekly. (I was wondering if you could do a single by configuring a "reboot" action if a reboot delay could be configured for several hours but it can only be 60 seconds when I just looked - so that option is out.)

Hope this gets you started. Of course, make sure your time is set correctly
