Item
Options
Description
Physical Presence Policy
• Enabled
• Disabled
Enable/Disable "Remote Physical Presence Policy".
Enabled is the default setting. The option is modifiable
when "Physical Presence State" is asserted.
Enabled allows Remote Physical Presence to be asserted
without the need for Hardware Physical Presence. Once
enabled, a time-out value is used to assert the policy for a
specified number of minutes.
Note: If moved to the Disabled state, it will require
Hardware Physical Presence to re-enable this policy.
Minutes To Assert 30
Number of minutes (range 1-100) to have Remote
Physical Presence asserted. Physical Presence Policy
must be Enabled and a value set to have remote physical
Presence asserted. NOTE: This is not a count down value.

If Hardware Physical Presence Jumper is Asserted, the
only way to de-assert Physical Presence is to change the
jumper on the planar.
Asserting allows Physical Presence to be set for a
duration listed in minutes even if Hardware Physical
Presence Jumper is not asserted. Asserting does not
require a reboot.
Both the Hardware Physical Presence Jumper on the
planar and the Remote Physical Presence are Asserted.
De-asserting turns off Physical Presence (unless the HW
Physical Presence Jumper is asserted). De-asserting
does not require a reboot.
