L'unité de stockage stocke le temps reçu par l'unité de réglage et une condition prédéterminée utilisée pour la détermination d'un redémarrage ou non de l'appareil de traitement d'informations à ce moment-là. A un temps du redémarrage de l'appareil de traitement d'informations au moment stocké dans l'unité de stockage, l'unité de détermination prend la décision d'exécuter un redémarrage lorsqu'un état de fonctionnement de l'appareil de traitement d'informations satisfait la condition prédéterminée stockée dans l'unité de stockage. L'unité d'exécution de redémarrage exécute le redémarrage conformément à la décision prise par l'unité de détermination.
