23. Skip Set PRTC.
Default Setting = None, Recommended Setting = Current Date and Time
This option sets the PRTC (Protected Real Time Clock). It is used with TLS mutual authentication, which
checks for the client certificate for expiration based on its PRTC. PRTC has a valid date range of 1/1/
2004 to 1/4/2021.
24. Select Idle Timeout.
Default Setting = 0x1, Recommended Setting = 0x1
This option sets the timeout value for Wake-On-ME.
The default timeout value is 0x1 from the factory, but 0x0 if CMOS is cleared. A value of 0x0 means
the Wake-On-ME feature is disabled and the ME will not go to sleep when not being used in a non-
active system. HP recommends a setting of 0x1, which allows the ME to go to sleep after 1 minute of
inactivity.
The timeout value can be set in both decimal and hexadecimal notation and is in units of minutes. It
must be set to a non-zero value for the ME to take advantage of Wake-On-ME. Hexadecimal settings
are preceded by a “0x”, so one minute is “0x1”.
This value is not used when the system is in an active state - S0.
This value is used only if the ME On in Host Sleep State setting is set to Always.
See “Appendix C: Wake-On-ME Explained” on page 30 for an explanation of Wake-On-ME.
