Safe Shutdown and Reboot
Overview
The PN0108's Safe Shutdown and Reboot functions are available for systems
running Windows. Safe shutdown and reboot lets you safely close a system
down and reboot it without involving the danger to the file systems that simply
killing the power supply does. In order to use this function:
You must connect a Safe Shutdown Cable from the PN0108 to the
computer (see Single Stage Installation, page 11).
You must enable either Modem Ring Resume or System after AC back (but
not both) in the computer BIOS' Power Management settings.
The settings you select in the BIOS must match the settings you made in
the Outlet Configuration dialog box (see Configuration, page 38).
If you choose Modem Ring Resume: 1) your system BIOS must support
this function; and 2) check your computer manual to be sure the system
supports the COM port External Modem Wakeup function, since some
BIOS versions only support this function with an internal PCI card
modem.
If your BIOS doesn't support the COM port External Modem Wakeup
function, you cannot use Modem Ring Resume.
The wording for the Modem Ring Resume function may vary somewhat
from system to system. For example:
Wake On LAN / Ring Connector
Modem Ring On
Power On By External Modem
In the BIOS settings, choose Enabled.
The wording for the System after AC back function may vary somewhat
from system to system. For example:
AC Loss Auto Restart
Restore on AC Power Loss
In the BIOS settings, choose Power On (Full On).
NT systems must use the System after AC back function.
