Abstract

The remote power management system of information processing apparatus or the like solves problems as to occurrence of uncontrollability of power supply due to malfunction of an uninterruptible power supply device that is incapable of trying restart and recovery of information processing apparatus of the certain type merely through start or termination of power supply or alternatively as to unwanted interruption of power supply to information processing apparatus constituting a network. The system comprises a remote power switch for change over between turn-on and turn-off of a power supply line, information processing apparatus or network equipment for receiving electrical power form the power supply line via the power switch, and a remote control device for controlling changeover of the remote power switch from a remote location wherein these are connected together over a network. The remote control device is operable based on a specific command from the remote location for outputting a control signal for turn-on or turn-off of power supply via the network to the remote power switch. The information processing apparatus has interface means for letting the information processing apparatus get restarted in response to the turn-on control signal as output from the remote control device.
