This read-write integer configures how many seconds an outlet delays before powering on at coldstart or when a command requiring a turn-on delay is issued, where -1 means never power on automatically and values up to 7200 seconds, 2 hours, stagger the delay. Admins use this to sequence equipment power-up after an outage, for example bringing storage online before the servers that depend on it. Setting this to 30 seconds on a storage array's outlet and 90 seconds on the dependent server's outlet ensures storage is ready before the server attempts to boot.
