I have an old computer here which automatically boots after it detects that the power is back on, even if it wasn't running when the power was lost (which is kinda annoying), hopefully the same option exists in his bios. However, what my relative was looking for is to have a timer on the UPS unit so it won't let power back on for x amount of hours after it has cut the power (manualy or due to powerloss etc), even if external power is still available during that time. Once the power is back on and the saftety timeout is over, I don't think I'll be a problem to make the computer boot. I can't find any info about timeout features in the UPS product specifications and I'm having a hard time finding someone who knows or has been using a unit themselves. Maybe I'm making this sound like a big issue... I just want to know if it's possible or not. If it's not, no big deal, the power to the modem and other stuff will stay on (hopefully protected by the UPS unit) and if the computer won't auto boot, we'll try a remote wake-up... /TwoD Loading...
