Safe Shutdown and Reboot

Overview

The PN9108U'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 PN9108U to the

computer (see Single Stage Installation, page 12).

 You must enable either Modem Ring Resume or System after AC back (or

both) in the computer BIOS' Power Management settings. If the BIOS has

settings for the two of them, we recommend enabling them both.

BIOS Power Management Settings

When making BIOS Power Management settings, please note the following:

1. The settings you select in the BIOS must match the settings you made in

the Outlet Configuration dialog box (see Configuration, page 27).

2. If you choose Modem Ring Resume:

a) Your system BIOS must support this function;

b) 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.

c) If your BIOS doesn't support the COM port External Modem Wakeup

function, you may wish to install an internal PCI card modem in order

to use this function.

3. 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.
