On some partitioned systems, this system value can only be changed from the primary partition. For more information, see Logical partitions.
The following are possible options:
The system automatically powers down when system utility power fails.
Specifies the delay time in seconds before the utility power fails.
Powers down only the processor, I/O processor cards, and load source storage. The appropriate wait time, in seconds, is calculated. (This should be used only if you have the battery power unit or an uninterruptible power supply without every rack being connected.)
The appropriate wait time (in seconds) is calculated. This value should be used only if you have a 9402 or 9404 system with a battery power unit.
The system does not start any action on its own.
