When we have an extended power failure the server goes onto the UPS backup
power but after a specified time is shut down by software that came with the
UPS. However it doesn't power up when power is restored. Our retired
servers always came back up as soon as power was restored using the same
software. Could this be a BIOS setting? It's a Dell Poweredge.

Yes, presuming your UPS software is configured the same way (to return the
server to its previous state), this is a BIOS thing. :-)
