I'm trying to get Lights Out up and running on my EX495.

I want to be able to suspend or sleep my system instead of a complete power off because if I power off I can't get it to power on at a specific time as Lights Out only wakes from sleep. The instructions say I need to adjust the bios. I don't have a keyboard or a monitor for my server - How does one actually get to adjust the bios?

I feel like an idiot, but would happily follow directions if anyone can provide them (for getting to the bios or how to wake at a specific time).

I think Lights-Out is brilliant ....

Running an EX490 I have not touched the BIOS and the WOL (Wake on LAN) seems to function fine. I can RDT to the server and shut it down, then start up a client PC with lights-out installed, and in a couple of minutes, the EX490 wakes up again.

Hope this helps .....

I'm having a problem with mine. Will not wake up properly. It wakes up but the health light does light up and need to manually switch it off at the plug and turn on again for it to work.
