Set Platform Events window allows you to specify the actions to be
taken if the system is to be shut down in response to a platform event.
5 Select one of the following actions:
•
None
Takes no action when the operating system is hung or has crashed.
•
Reboot System
Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup,
performing BIOS checks and reloading the operating system.
•
Power Cycle System
Turns the electrical power to the system off, pauses, turns the power
on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to
reinitialize system components such as hard drives.

event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by firmware and is done without first
shutting down the operating system or any running applications.

NOTE: To generate an alert, you must select both Generate Alert and the
Enable Platform Events Alerts settings.
