Smart-UPS RT 10000 XL Return Power to servers

BillP · ‎2021-06-30

Hi all, this is probably a very newbie question but I hope you can help.

I have a Smart-UPS RT 10000 XL shutting down my servers in event of utility failure. Question is how do I configure it to power my servers back on once they have shut down.

Thanks

ok, cause normally those options are used for load shedding. powerchute network shutdown has a setting within it as well that tells the UPS to shutdown after the PCNS client has shut down the operating system. also, the UPS would shutdown either way when it had a low battery and by default, restart after applying the return delay as the default configuration.

Servers were set to auto-start. I think I did figure this out though. I had not set the UPS itself to shutdown and the return delay, but wasnt sure how to make it work the correct way as I've been thrust upon this UPS without any background. So I set the options detailed in the screen shot attached and it worked.

So thanks for the assist
