Hi, I am trying to configure a computer to switch on remotely with an IP power management unit, connected to the internet. The switch does apply power to the computer however the On/Off switch on the computer needs to be pressed. I have looked for options in the AMI Bios ie Wake on Lan as the pc is connected on the network and the internet but this option does not exist. I have looked in Power Management options however the only options there are - Power Button Mode (On/Off or Suspend) Suspend Power Saving Type (C3 or S1), Restore on AC Power Loss (Last State), Suspend Time Out, Video Power Down mode, Power on by RTC Alarm, Power on External Modems, Power on PCI Device, Power on by PS/2 keyboard, Power on by PS/2 mouse. Any suggestions ??????

"Restore on AC Power Loss (Last State)"

Set it to ON. when the mains power turns on IT will turn on.

I'm not sure if your motherboard supports this feature, but I have an option in my BIOS to power on the PC using a keyboard key combo. In my case, I can power the PC on by hitting Ctrl-F1. Check in your BIOS under a different heading to see if you have an option like this.
