I have several PCs that have ATX MBs that I need to be able to turn off/on remotely. I have an APC Master Switch for this purpose. However, when I remove the power from these systems and reapply, the systems do not reboot. I did some reading up on the systems and found that the 5 volt power is always applied and the 12 volt power is not applied when the system is in an off state. The motherboard grounds one of the PS leads when it wants to turn on. So, I hard-wired the ground to that lead and now the sysytem power comes on when I plug it in. However, the system still will not reboot unless the MB gets a momentary closure on the leads that go to the power switch. The system uses Award BIOS, BTW.
Any ideas? Thanks, Howie ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
