This read-write integer, in seconds, sets how long a given ATS outlet delays powering on at coldstart or after a command requiring a turn-on delay, with -1 meaning never power on automatically, 0 meaning immediately, and 1 to 7200 a configurable delay. An admin staggers these delays across outlets so equipment doesn't all inrush at once and so dependent devices boot in the right order. For example, setting a network switch's outlet to 0 and a server's outlet to 90 ensures the switch is already up and passing traffic by the time the server powers on 90 seconds later.
