Abstract: A method, a system, and a device to provide an automated power cycling operation to a data processing device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an error signal of a data processing device, through a processor of a power cycle unit, wherein the power cycle unit is coupled to the data processing device. In another embodiment, the power cycle unit may disconnect electrical power from a power supply to the data processing device. For example, the data processing device may require a power cycling operation to improve performance and the power cycle unit may comprise one or more routines for a power cycle operation. The power cycle unit may include a processor to detect computational errors and trigger the power cycling operation. Further, an administration server may be in communication with the power cycle unit and may allow a remote triggering of the power cycling operation.
