The above is an incorrect way to set up fencing on a node with redundant 
power supplies...whatever the UI is showing you.
This configuration does not guarentee that the node is truly rebooted. 
Both ports Off At The Same Time is the only way to be certain the node 
is not staying up due to timing issues. Keeping this in your 
cluster.conf puts your data at risk.

If the UI component is writing something improper to the configuration 
file regarding fencing (or any other cluster parameter), please file a 
bugzilla ticket and include your conga version number, your conf file, 
and a screen shot if you can. If conga is messing up fence 
configuration, it will be addressed with a very high priority.
