APC PDU post outage behavior

[BillP]

Hi,

We recently experience a power outage at out our data centre. When the power was restored, our PDU did not switch the power back on for the outlets. We had to do a manual intervention to be able to restore the power on our equipment.

I took a look at the configurations of the PDUs and realized that the power should have been restored automatically. All our outlets are configured to "Immediate Power On". No outlet groups are defined.

My question is that the normal behaviour? May I change anything to get theses PDUs to switch on the power automatically?

PDU model: AP7932

Thanks

can you post your config.ini and event.txt using these instructions for us to review? http://nam-en.apc.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9321

also, is this PDU connected to a UPS or other uninterruptible power source?
