About this task
Follow these steps to make sure your computer comes back online after a power failure. This procedure requires that you access the computer’s BIOS settings while the computer is starting up.
Accessing and changing BIOS settings may vary depending on the computer you are using. Seek input from the IT department if you are unsure how to change the computer’s BIOS settings.
Note: You may want to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to prevent your computer from going
offline during a power failure.
Procedure
- Restart the computer. While the computer is starting up, press the appropriate key to enter Setup mode (for example, F10).
- Edit the appropriate Power Management settings so the computer restarts after a power failure (for example, set After Power Failure to Switch On).
- Save changes and exit Setup mode.
