Note: Automatic System Recovery actions may not execute exactly per the time-out period (n seconds) when the watchdog identifies a system that has stopped responding. The action execution-time ranges from n-h+1 to n+1 seconds, where n is the time-out period and h is the heart beat interval. The value of the heart beat interval is 7 s when n<30 and 15 s when n > 30.
