POST Timeout

POST Timeout

Note: This function requires a specially architected POST routine and is available only on some IBM systems.

The POST Timeout field shows the number of seconds that the Advanced Systems Management Adapter will wait for the system's power-on self test (POST) to complete before generating a POST Timeout event. If POST takes longer than the configured amount of time to complete and the POST timeout check box (found in the Enabled Alerts Dialout group on the Automatic Dialout Settings window) is checked, the Advanced Systems Management Adapter will automatically restart the system one time and will attempt to forward an alert to all enabled Dialout Entries.
Once the system is restarted POST timeout is automatically disabled.

To set the POST timeout value, use the spin buttons beside the POST Timeout field to set the number of seconds that the Advanced Systems Management Adapter will wait for POST to complete. Then, click on Apply to save this value.
