You would need to open a ticket with Dell Support and request to be escalated 
to the REC.  They should be able to get the test release (I-rev) of the BIOS 
(for the affected systems) to you after confirming your NDA status.

Thanks,

That's good to hear! We like to be on the most recent BIOS if possible. Are all 
models going to be addressed? Also, who specifically should I contact about 
getting the test release?

Thanks!

All Dell Business Client systems (Latitude, Optiplex, Precision) *should* 
support WOL by default.  I checked on this issue and it will be corrected in a 
BIOS version slated for release in a couple months.  You can either stay on 
A02, or request a test version of the upcoming BIOS release from Dell Support.

Thanks,

Rather than going through every one of our models, I was hoping someone out 
there might already have compiled a list of Dell models and the BIOS version 
required for wake on LAN to work properly. For example, the OptiPlex 9020 won't 
wake up unless you are running BIOS version A02, but the one I tested had A03. 
I tried upgrading to the latest, it still didn't work. Once I downgraded to 
A02, it worked.
