Configuring battery backup unit settings
When the power supplies cannot provide power to a server with a battery backup unit, the server runs on
power provided by the battery backup unit.
Use the following procedure to choose the action iLO takes when a server is running on a battery backup
unit.
NOTE:
Battery backup unit settings are disabled when the system is configured for Scalable Persistent Memory.
Prerequisites
Configure iLO Settings privilege
Procedure
1. Click Power & Thermal in the navigation tree, and then click the Power Settings tab.
2. In the Battery Backup Unit Settings section, select the action you want iLO to take when the server
runs on the battery backup unit.
3. Click Apply.
iLO notifies you that the change was successful.
Battery backup unit options
You can configure iLO to take one of the following actions when a server is running on battery power:
•
No Action (default)—Do nothing when the server is running on battery power. If power is not restored,
the server will lose power when the battery is depleted.
•
Momentary Power Button Press—When iLO detects that the server is running on battery power for
at least 10 seconds, it sends a momentary power button press to the server. If the operating system is
configured to react to the power button press, the operating system initiates a shutdown.
Send Shutdown Message to OS—When iLO detects that the server is running on battery power for
at least 10 seconds, it sends a shutdown message to the host operating system. If the required server
management software is installed, the operating system initiates a shutdown.
To verify server support for a battery backup unit, see the server specifications at the following website:
