How to boot-up Blade automatically upon power on?

Hi,
Is there a way to configure the UCS blades to boot up upon power on (assuming each blade already has a service profile associated)?
THanks.

Got it...
Resume Ac On Power Loss under BIOS policy..
last-state—The server is powered on and the system attempts to restore its last state.
reset—The server is powered on and automatically reset.
If I choose reset, this means when the server is powered on, it'll be reset
However, I don't quite get what last-state means.
Is this referring to the last state the OS is in, it we didn't shutdown the OS, when the server is powered on, it'll load the OS at that last state? Doesn't make sense though.. Probably some examples would be good
Thanks..

Connecting to wireless Networks automatically upon boot

Thanks for the help!

Hello jlfutari. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
So what I want to know is how can I config OSX so everytime it boots, it will automatically connected to my wireless network(without manually doing it)
First, create a new Location with your Wi-Fi as the "Preferred Network."
Create a new network Location w/Preferred Network
o System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
o Location: New Location...
o Name your new location: <enter a location name>
o Click "OK"
o Click on the "AirPort" tab to select it.
o By default, join: Preferred networks
o Select a "preferred" network from the list, or click "+" to add a new one.
o Click "Options..."
o If no preferred networks are found: Ask before joining an open network.
o Click "OK"
o Click "Apply Now"
Second, setup AirPort to default to the "Preferred Network."
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
o Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
o Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
o By default, join: Preferred networks

Tecra R850-117 boots up 5 minutes after power down

After shutting down my Tecra R850-117 it will automatically restart after exactly 5 minutes.
This is unwanted behavior because it drains the battery while I'm not using the laptop and it could also damage the disk carrying it around while running...
Anyone knows what could cause this behavior and how I can stop it? The laptop is 6 months old and I'm only noticing this behavior since the last few weeks. I already noticed the battery would be drained after not using it for a few days (probably due to the same issue?), but never before noticed the unwanted restarts...
Thanks a lot in advance for any useful advice.
Erik.

A power off on a notebook is not a mechanical power down, but a state where the system can still be woken up by a few events (like wake on Lan/keyboard). One of these events is the RTC timer. For a reason that is still unknown (at least to me) this timer caused my notebook to restart five minutes after shutting down my Linux sessions with a "power off".
As I see it now the RTC timer was set at every shutdown. To what value it was set I don't know for sure, but looking at the data I was able to figure out it looks like the RTC timer would be set to a moment in the past (being the time the system just booted). Maybe this resulted in the timer thinking it had missed an alarm, and restarting as a result?
I wasn't able to get this issue solved, but I was at least able to find a work around: As soon as Linux boots it now automatically sets the RTC timer to a date two years ahead. Not a beautiful solution, but well... It works...

Mac Crashes.... for the last two days I upon power up I have experienced the "White screen of death" on my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8.

for the last several days I have experienced the dreaded wite screen of death upon power up of my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8,
Screen will hang white - no apple logo - when I hit the power button resart - the mac power light does not go out, but "clicks" and the mac will restart.
I get the white apple logo screen and then some terminal script (about 20-25 lines) that lasts for a dew seconds - then an apple message appears telling me that my computer needs to be restarted due to an error - press a key or wat.... this will cycle continuously.
If I power down and boot in safe mode - the computer seems to start up - with a crash log.
Once I restart from safe mode - the mac seems to start fine and I am using it without issue - (of course until I power down and come back in the studio the following day...)
I am not familiar with crash logs - but here are the two most recent...

How can I get an automatic connection to wifi on startup?

We lost internet connection during snow/ice storm. I have to manually connect to wifi now. How can I get an automatic connection to wifi?

An 'uninterruptible power supply' that automatically steps in and takes your computer
off the grid momentarily, will work in cases of brown-out (under-power) & surge (spike)
and it does so at a fast rate. Most of these also offer a way to customize sensitivity to
a certain degree, depending on model and should there be a valid reason to do so.
An old-school surge protector, even if it has a few fancy LEDs, is no protection. And
for less than a replacement logic board or an hour of authorized Apple repair, the UPS
is a fairly good investment. Backup battery is user-replaceable in the better made units.
Most of them offer extra ports that do not use the battery-backup power feature. If you
need to have more items run when the power switches up/down or out, you'd need to
consider a larger capacity backup power unit. In some instances, the makers of these
(for a time, perhaps even now) did caution users to not install more than one UPS per
room when the same leg may have inadequate grounding, since these can dump the
excess surge power from several different UPS units and overload the ground.
That said, the gamble is yours. I've found to have and use these is some protection
and when away from the computer. Most settings for controlling them appear in OS X.
No additional software is required. Other settings may be on the UPS front panel.
Good luck & happy computing!

Boot Camp forgot how to boot

Im getting "no bootable device" (or something close to this). It's flipping weird so let's start with a chain of events.
I must install WinXP via an external LaCie d2 USB/FW device. This thing can boot off Leopard install DVD just fine. It used to be able to boot off Win XP install DVD just fine too. The later capability evaporated in mid air or something else equally senseless.
1- use Boot Camp Assistant to partition HDD then start installation.
2- Windows did it's thing just fine up to the first reboot.
3- Windows can't boot allegedly because of this: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1722?viewlocale=en_US)
4- Start over from scratch.
5- used Boot Camp Assistant to partition HDD then start installation.
6- no can do.
It forgot how to boot off the Windows DVD. It lost the capability right there. I get either: (paraphrased) "No bootable device found. Press any key to continue" or the blank grey screen. There is no key that does anything. It's dead, Jim. I must shutdown the mac by holding the power button long enough then hold option down to select Mac. OK.
What is going on? I went as far as re-flashing the DVD firmware. It's all dandy in there. Nothing to report.
What am I supposed to do now?
Pretty please...
confusingly yours,
Andrew from Canada

OK. A bit more infos as well as a bump.
The WinXP disk show up in boot camp when connected via FW then Windows can't use FW to boot so it's pointless...
It does not show up in boot camp when connected via USB.
I know it can boot from USB because it already did that once.. This is also the official procedure for installing Windows into a Macbook Air. So there
It forgot how... or it villainy refuse to.
Come on guys, throw me a bone here. At least one of you must have a clue...

How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series from my PC using windows 8?

Thanks for your reply.
Looks like I didn't do enough research as the HP site said it's available however upon further investigation only manual duplexing is available with drivers installed.

How to boot your phone into safe mode

If you experience any problem with your phone, booting it into safe mode can be a good idea to check if any third party applications might be involved in the problem you’re having.
If you run your phone in safe mode for a while and you don’t experience any problem, the problem you’re having is most likely related to a third party app that you’ve installed.
How to boot into safe mode differ from models to model and it can also be different depending on firmware version but this topic will explain to you how to do it.
NOTE!
Booting into safe mode may change personal UI customizations such as icons and folders.
Later Xperia phones running on Android Jelly Bean (Android 4.1 or later)
Press and hold the on/off key until you get this screen.
Now tap and hold the Power off option until you see this screen.
Press OK to reboot into safe mode.
If you have successfully booted into safe mode you will see the text Safe mode in the bottom left corner.
You can also boot into safe mode by turning off the phone and wait a few seconds. Now press and hold both the on/off and volume down (-) key. Keep pressing these two keys until the phone has booted completely.
To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.
Xperia phones using touch menu key running on Android GB (2.3.X) or ICS (4.0.X)
Turn off your phone. Wait a few seconds and then turn it on again. Now during the boot process start tapping the menu key continuously and keep tapping until the phone has booted completely. Not too fast, not too slow. The beat of Iron man by Black Sabbath is just right.
To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.
Xperia phones using hardware menu key
Turn off your phone. Wait a few seconds and then turn in on again. Now during the boot process press and hold the menu key until the phone has booted completely.
To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.

How to creat Process messages automatically through PI sheet saved?

How to creat Process messages automatically through PI sheet to the Process message destinations.

Hi Jessie,
When you process instruction category PROD_3 in master recipe, the process message PI_PROD is created.
After releasing process order, you have to create control recipe. Upon successful creation of control recipe, process instructions will get generated. Check the error log for control recipe creation for error if any.
Note that control recipe will be generated only with order status "Released".
You have to sent this control recipe to process control (CO53).
Hope it is helpful.

Satellite 1800-804: How to boot from a USB device?

I have a satellite 1800-804 and i like to know how to boot the notebook from a usb device.

Hi
If you want to boot from USB device you should press down U key on keyboard just after pressing power button but I dont know if this will work (as far as I know it works with external FDD device).
Try to boot up the unit with start disk (FDD) and load the MS-DOS driver for the external CD/DVD-ROM if you can find it on manufacturers download page.

How to Boot a MacBookPro with Ubuntu v10.10 on USB drive??

With Unbuntu v10.10 on my USB jump drive plugged into my MacBook Pro (OS X v10.6.6) & holding down the "alt" key during power-up, only the MacBook internal hard drive is available for selection.
Also tried holding down "command" + "option" + "F" + "0" during power up to access EFI but system boots as normal with no Bios or EFI settings available to change boot device. Plus using Statup Disk under System Preference shows only the MacBook Internal Hard Drive or Network as options, no USB.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to boot Ubuntu v10.10 from a USB jump drive on my MacBook Pro?

the easy step is boot linux with usb in a mac, the hard step is this run well configured, and you can run all features of you computer booting from a usb.
You cannot boot a MBR disc from USB, but you can boot an efi disc. You nees install grub-efi, and run it. If your mac is old, is possible that you cannot boot grub-efi from the efi boot particion (the first, that it is fomat in FAT32), and in this case, you need an HFS+ for boot grub-efi.
You can read this topic of ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995704
and in the grub web, has a wiki that you can learn how to configure the grub-efi and how to boot it in mac.
Good luck!

How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?

Someone else posted ths question a month ago, but still no answers. Anyone?
How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?
Windows XP, SP3 operating system recently re-installed so I also reinstalled my printer software. Now, for some reason, each time I turn my computer on, my HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one photosmart premier software opens. It is not in my startup. This slows down my computer terribly, which is why I never used the program before my re-install. How can I disable this feature? I only print, I don't use it for photos.
Any help here is appreciated.

Run msconfig.exe from the start button (type in msconfig). When it comes up go to the Startup tab and find and deselect the HP product you do not want to start. Save and reboot computer. Now try.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
