Turning servers on after turning off PowerChute

BillP · ‎2021-06-30

Hello! Now, after the light went out and the server appeared, the servers turn on automatically. If now they turn off for me under PowerChute, how will I need to turn on the servers? Manually or is there a switching mechanism?

Hi,

As Gavan wrote earlier, to have the system start automatically when AC is restored you must configure the BIOS to start the system. PowerChute just like any other software application will not be running as it relies on the hardware to be functioning so it cannot restart the system!

Hi Sergey,

I'd recommend looking in the servers BIOS for a setting like "AC Power Recovery" and setting that to "Power On", that will instruction the server's BIOS to boot the server when the power returns.

I have this if the servers are turned off abnormally. The PowerChute program shuts down the servers normally. How can I make them turn on when the voltage appears.
