I stumbled onto this when Lights-Out wasn't working correctly on my 2nd X510. It's not a server addin which is why I put this here in software, but it worked for me and it is free. The support over at Lights-out was able to help me with settings that would have got it working, but Smart-Power was doing what I wanted, so why mess with it?

SmartPower, when you click on the download box you will be surprised as you will get a very small program 816 kb, it comes as a winzip and when unzipped, it is SmartPower_1_5_0.msi.
Check for newer versionsI made a rdp connection to my server, used the browser to go to the website and downloaded to the server desktop, extracted the file from the zip to the server desktop, right clicked the file and hit install.
It does a fairly normal quick install, Yes I agree to the terms, setup for all users, location of install, at the end it says to go to microsoft updates and check for dot-net updates, so I can guess the program uses dot-net.
EDIT: This was not a problem with WHS v1 but when I tried to install this on Win2012E it needed dot net 3.5 and when I tried to install that it was a problem, so kind of a no go on W2012E.Edit2: In win2012E you use server managment and enable dot net 3.5 and then SmartPower will install, then I had to install the intel G33/G31 vista 64 bit graphics driver to get suspend.After the install, click start, all programs you will see SmartPower folder and in the folder you will click on the (SmartPower Configuration) icon.

I don't mess with all buttons at first, I would leave that up to you, they all seem to be very easy to understand.
I just edited the default event start and stop time that it comes with.

That was pretty much it. It just worked after that.
To be fair, Lights-out has a lot of extra stuff going for it and I have a paid for version on my main X510 that works just fine, I can remote wake the server and it's a addin so it can be used on the connector page. But if you want a set and forget wake and sleep then this might be for you.
Edit 3: Just another update, I installed this on a EX470 with the upgraded WHS (Black Disks) and it went to sleep as it should, but waking up was strange, wake, then sleep, wake then sleep.
I went to install Lightsout and got this warning about SBCore service running and causing the server to wake up about every 30 min. and how to disable it:http://www.homeserversoftware.com/lo/whsv1/help/en/messages_sbcore.htmSo I disabled this sevice per the instructions and am trying the SmartPower app again to see if that was the problem for it as well. When I confirm I will edit.
Edit: 4
Yep, That fixed it, EX470 sleeps and wakes just fine....
