===== AC loss recovery =====

Setting not accessible from IDRAC.
Need to use IDRAC console, reboot machine and enter to setup (F2).
In setup it is possible to setup:
  * AC Power Recovery: On (when it is ''Last'' system remains off after gracefull shutdown)
  * AC Power Recovery Delay: random - to prevent huge peak consumption when power is restored

Other possibilities - use Linux software to modify BIOS settings:
