IdeaCentre B320 - BIOS Auto Power Nonfunctional?

I wondered whether others had this issue, or whether people who had this issue were able to resolve it. We have a UPS system attached to a B320 that is intended to power the computer off in the event of an outage (this function works fine). I've configured the BIOS setting for "After Power Loss -> Power On". However, after testing several times, the PC fails to actually start up after power has been reconnected.
Is this an issue others have experienced? Is it a BIOS bug? Has anyone resolved this issue?

Thank you for your feedback, RMattoo.
We actually tried this (loading setup defaults) on all of the machines we ordered (4 total) and, despite multiple resets and multiple restarts, the BIOS setting fails to operate. Although the BIOS setting is "After Power Loss -> Power On," when power is restored, it sounds almost for a milisecond that the computer will power on (the lamp on the power switch flickers once, momentarily), the computer fails to actually start, unless manually switched on. This is, naturally, a major frustration.
Any other ideas?

X4170 M2 Auto Power On

Hi,
I have some x4170 M2's running intel processors. Currently, if the AC power goes off to the servers and comes back on, we need to power them up manually through ILOM or the button on the front panel. I want the servers to automatically power up instead of this manual process. The issue though is that for the life of me, I cannot find any place to configure this. My investigation has covered all the usual suspents:
- I have checked in ILOM (web console and command line)
- Checked all options in BIOS config
- I have trawled the documentation
- Googled extensively
- Checked this forum
Thus far, the only reference I can find is the screen here : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19269-01/820-5830-13/figures/app_bios-36.jpg
Unfortunately, when I go the the "South Bridge Chipset Configuration" screen in BIOS config, there are no sub-options at all.
So question is... how can I configure this?
Thanks so much,
Paul

Hi.

Use CLI to ILOM
show /SP/policy
set /SP/policy/HOST_AUTO_POWER_ON = enabled - Server always auto power-on on boot.
( This settings override /SP/policy/HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE )
set /SP/policy/HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE = enabled - Servers keep last state before power lost.

Auto Power On

Anyone ever use Power On feature?
I have ThinkPad T500.
Does anybody knows this model can set Auto Power On feature?
I heard it depends on Bios, but I couldn't figure out my Bios support Auto Power On feature or not.
Anybody can direct me to Bios manual or which Lenovo models handle Auto Power On feature?

Hi and welcome to the forum jugem!
As far as my knowledge goes, only the models released after Tx00 (e.g. Tx10) support this feature.
Hope this helps.

Auto power-on for MacMini with WinXp

Anyone know how to enable auto restart on an Intel Mini running WinXp (bootcamp).
I would like to use the MacMini as media center for some project. The machine must run WinXP. If there's a power failure, I want the Mini to auto power-on again by itself once the power supply recover.
The problem I'm facing now is the EFI. Most auto-restart feature in WinXp only works on BIOS.

You should probably post your question in the Boot Camp discussions:

About auto power off function

Hello again guys,
long time no see ,since yesterday as far as I remember
Talking about Auto Power Off function , is there anyone that can tell us , it could be used on long terms - many days for example - as long as no one push the shutter or any button to wake the "beast" ?
This function completly shut down the camera or it's a kind of sleep function and some parts remain power supplied ?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not completly shutdown. However, it should not cost too much power if any at all. I have it on for a week. Unless you turn on the GPS. With GPS turned on, even if you turn off the camera, it is still active.

IdeaCentre B320 - Veriface application, how can I download this?

I have just received my IdeaCentre B320 All-in-one desktop PC and am absolutely loving it!
When I was looking through the specs before I bought it they stated that one of the features of the desktop was the Veriface application. However I cannot find it on the computer and am wondering if I have to download it and where I would download it from?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure about Veriface but, there is a Veritouch application for the B520. I have not used it yet therefore, I can't tell you how well it works.

IdeaCentre B320 black screen

My Ideacentre B320 gets a black screen on startup but I can hear Windows starting normally and when I try the TV I only get the Lenovo logo screen and nothing else. I found a post from someone with the exact same problem but with a B340. It turned out to be the scalar board on the B340 - unfortunately the B320 does not have a scalar board. Does anyone know what the equivalent would be on the B320? Any help is greatly appreciated.

from the moment you turn on your pc do you get any images?
if you are getting an image and have a usb stick about you could try a linux live cd/usb and see if its your current install of windows causing the problem http://www.porteus.org/

MacBook Pro Retina 15" Auto Power Off

Hi,
I have "auto power off" issue with my newly bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
This problem is very annoying, my MacBook Pro just auto power off, where I check the battery is 100% fully charged.
The first encountered was about a month ago, the night I cannot turn on my MacBook Pro at all, the next day I sent it back to Apple Service Centre. The technician open up the bottom part, reset the battery by removing the battery cable, plug it back. Then turn on and perform some diagnosis test.
It was working fine for about 2 weeks, and now the "auto power off" happen everyday.
I have repartition my SSD drive to 2 partitions using BootCamp and installed with Windows 7 x64.
At first, this problem happen when I boot into Windows 7 with BootCamp, at first, I thought this problem is due to Windows Drivers, and I have no choice but purchase Parallels Desktop, to run my Windows with OSX 10.8.2. After the Parallels installed, I upgrade my second partition to run Windows 7 concurrently with OSX, it was running fine on the first day! And I thought it has solve my problems, unfortunately the next day, this problems occurs again.
I suspect this is due to hardward failure, something to do with the battery. Looks like the drivers is telling the Operating System, battery is 0%, and it just turn off itself.
Anyone experience this? Please share your experience or advice what should I do next?
Regards,
Dave

Hey Dave. Yes yes yes! Try reading through the thread below. Especially at the end. It has to do with an 'autopoweroff' setting that appears to be new and annoying.
When plugged in, goes from sleep to hibernate after 4 hours of sleep (or 14,400 seconds).
Very easy to turn off.
This after many hours of research and discussion with no help from the folks at Apple.
Basically, to query the settings (enter this from Terminal):
pmset -g | grep autopoweroff
You'll see the autopoweroff set to '1' and autopoweroffdelay set to 14400.
To actually turn that 'feature' off:
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
(then enter your Mac password)
Now it will just sleep when plugged in and not go into hibernate.
You can also tell the Mac how long before it powers off via the autopoweroffdelay setting (if you like this silly feature), but I just turned the sucker off.
Here is the thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20819713?ac_cid=tw123456#20819713
Hopefully, that's the same problem you have, and it will quickly fix it.

Does iPod not auto power-off when audio is paused?

Hello,
I fully recharged the iPod. I played about an hour and a half of audio. i am called to dinner, so I hit the Pause button. 2 hours later, I come back to the iPod, and the battery guage shows almost empty. And the screen was still on. (Backlight was off). The hold switch was at the off position.
Doesn't the iPod auto-power off (screen goes off) a few minutes after pressing the pause button?I'm afraid that it's because my iPod's display was still on that the battery was depleted.
(Then again, I may be wrong in saying that the screen was still on when I got to the iPod 2 hours later, maybe my finger touched the scrollwheel upon holding the iPod. I'm not sure. If this was the case, I still don't know why the battery level shows empty.)
For you guys, how long does it take for your iPod's screen to auto-power-off?
I have a theory.
The iPod won't auto-power-off (and therefore save battery life) if an audio is set to pause.
Is this theory correct or not?

My 30 Gig 5G iPod did the exact same thing the other day, which would've been shortly after I updated it to 1.2. I did a reset and after that it's been behaving normally, shutting down after being paused for awhile. So, try a reset and see how it goes.

Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off

My Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off. It shows the empty battery icon when I press the shutter button, even the battey is fully charged. If I remove the battery and insert back it will resume to work. Any one had the same experience and know how to resolve it?

The power switch is actually a "software" switch. It's not like a light switch in that it doesn't actually provide or deprive the camera of power... only removing the battery will deprive the camera of power. This is why it doesn't actually just go dark when you switch off power... instead you'll usually see it perform a sensor clean cycle and then power down. The camera is technically in a kind of "sleep" mode monitoring the switch. If a Canon camera ever seems to lock up and ignore all input, the battery should be temporarily removed to "reboot" the camera. There is no "setting" in a camera that can configure it to ignore buttons. Although... if the camera is in an automatic mode, some input is deliberately ignored to make it easier to use the camera. Put the mode dial in a "creative zone" mode (P, Tv, Av, or M) and all buttons and menus should be accessible. You might try connecting the camera via USB cable to your computer and then attempt to control the camera via the Canon EOS Utility to see if that works. If the camera responds fine to the computer control, then likely the camera's main board and circuits are working fine and it may just be a wiring problem -- as if some cable simply isn't getting a very solid connection. If this is a wiring issue, you are probably better off sending it in for service.

Disable the TV features entirely? (IdeaCentre B320)

Is there a way to disable the TV features on an IdeaCentre B320 entirely?
I work with a user who is let's just say, not computer-savvy who has a B320. She has has no need for the television functions at all, and is often confused when she accidentally activate it either as PIP or full screen, which happens a LOT more often than you might expect.
She's not satisfied with the simple path to get back to her Windows desktop, so I'm hoping there's some way to just disable the TV altogether. Can anyone think of a way to do this?

Some things yoi could try if noone comes up with a defintive answer.
Try uninstalling drivers and pull the card though have my doubts. Take away the remote and tape the tv on the side might be easier.

7D auto power off not working

My Canon EOS 7D is not turning itself off even though I have auto power off set for one minute. I think this problem began after I added a battery grip to the camera. Has anyone else had this problem?
gc

Is it a Canon battery grip, or a third party? I ask because I've heard of some strange things occuring when using non-OEM battery grips.
If it's a Canon battery grip, I'd try "rebooting" the camera to see if that clears the problem. Do you know how to do that? If not, it's pretty easy. Just remove all the batteries (including the date/time battery), turn the camera on and press the shutter release button once. It won't fire, but this will drain all remaining power from the system and force the camera to reboot. Put the batteries back in and check to see if the date/time needs to be reset... if so, you got a good reboot. (You might have to reset some of your other settings, too.)
Hopefully that helps. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.
