[NBLUG/talk] Hardware Auto Power On

[Walter Hansen]

This isn't really a Linux thing, it's a hardware thing. So I thought I'd
ask my fellow geeks.

I've got a server that I've hooked up X-10. I can power it down fine. I
can turn on the power fine. But when I turn on the power nothing happens.
The computer doesn't automatically boot. I have to physically push the
button. It's an older Celeron 300 (plenty fast for what it does). I
checked through bios and didn't find anything.

The other server (P150?/backpane/rackmount) did fine. It booted itself
back up fine.

Anybody know the name of the "feature" for this. Would a new powersupply
do the trick? Clever wiring? I'll probably open her up and look for a
jumper, but there's probably not much chance of finding one.
