Adaptive Server allows users to take all engines offline, except engine zero.

number of engines at startup is used exclusively during start-up to set the number of engines brought online. It allows great flexibility in the number of engines brought online, subject to the restriction that you cannot set the value of number of engines at startup to a value greater than the number of CPUs on your machine, or to a value greater than the configuration of max online engines. Users who do not intend to bring engines online after start-up should set max online engines and number of engines at startup to the same value. A difference between number of engines at startup and max online engines wastes approximately 1.8 MB of memory per engine.
