ABSTRACT:
A representative computer requests performing a power-down process to other computer and notifies each of other computers of a next power-up date and time each time a power-down date and time comes, and has each power supply control device to enter the date and time. Each time a power-up date and time comes, the representative computer powered up and activated by its own power supply control device normally instructs each power supply control device of each of other computers. However, if the representative computer cannot be activated for any reason, each power supply control device powers up its own computer when the entered next power-up date and time comes.
