The Timeouts link provides options to configure the values of the Session timeout and UI timeout.

The session timeout value represents the amount of time in minutes that a user can remain inactive in an SMH session. If a user logs in and remains inactive for an amount of time greater than that specified by session timeout, the user is redirected to the Sign In page in their next interaction with the user interface.
The UI timeout value represents the maximum amount of time in seconds that the SMH user interface (UI) waits for data requested from webapps. Users with Administrator access can set the session timeout to between 1 and 60 minutes. The default value is 15 minutes. Users with Administrator access can set the UI timeout to between 10 and 3600 seconds. The default value is 20 seconds.

Selecting the Session never expires check box in the User Preferences Category avoids HP SMH session timeouts by sending a background request every three minutes. This option, when selected, also avoids HP SMH service timeouts. For more information, see The Settings Page - User Preferences

The following table presents the range of values available for timeouts, with their respective units:
