Server won't power up after outage

[Guest M Skabialka]

When we have an extended power failure the server goes onto the UPS backup

power but after a specified time is shut down by software that came with the

UPS. However it doesn't power up when power is restored. Our retired

servers always came back up as soon as power was restored using the same

software. Could this be a BIOS setting? It's a Dell Poweredge.

Yes, presuming your UPS software is configured the same way (to return the

server to its previous state), this is a BIOS thing. :-)
