Toshiba Magnia Z500 - Manual (Page 83)

Before using the automatic server restart function, please read carefully the following caution
with regard to this function.
CAUTION
Be sure to understand the following before enabling the automatic server
restart function:
When this function is enabled, either if the server fails to respond or if the
server is kept in a heavily loaded state for a long time, the motherboard will
reset the system and restart the server. The function may restart the server
without saving application data and disk caches, and therefore data may be
lost. When an application is used that increases load or that runs high priority
processes or threads, the automatic server restart function might act even if the
server is operating normally, and data may be lost.
When enabling the automatic server restart function, you can specify the duration of failure
to respond or heavily loaded state after which the server automatically reboots. The
minimum duration that can be specified is two minutes.
If an Operating System crash to a blue screen occurs while this parameter set to too small a
value, the system may be rebooted before the memory dump is completely saved. To
prevent this problem, set a reasonably large value that allows completion of memory dump
saving.
