Yes, I have several furman power units.  I have a lot of rack gear.  I'm
usually only using a few boxes in a session and so I don't have my entire
rack powered on by my power conditioners.  I prefer to turn on only the
boxes I'm going to use in a session to save power and wear on the machines.

I read the real manual this morning and didn't notice anything about this.
I might have missed it.

That's nice and all, but I want to take a loop I've created in Logic or 
Cool
Edit and then have them available to me on the Repeater without going
through the repeater inputs.
