Ultra 10: wake/power on events?

In the scenario that an Ultra 10 is power enabled, but is in a powered off state, I know of three events that will cause it to wake and power on:
* Pressing the power button on the front panel.
* Pressing the power button on the keyboard (if attached).
* Autowaking at a specific time as configured from the operating system.
Is there any other way to wake up an Ultra 10/Ultra machine? My preferred method would be to Wake-On-Lan. Is it possible to do that? What if I was using the ttya as my input-device? Is there a way to wake it through that method (I tried sending a serial break in a throw of the dice, but that obviously didn't work)?

Yup.

Unless you've somehow maintained a service contract on that system,
by specific system serial number,
your best bet is to haunt an online auction site (such as Ebay),
and get a replacement cpu or cpus for shelf stock.
Your current OBP patch level is only down two patch levels,
but your kernel patch level is essentially "never patched".
If it were patched better it may have noticed the issue a lot sooner.
Expect to replace that cpu.

MSI 645 Ultra and "Wake On LAN" ???

Hello,
This question is aimed at the following people :
- Someone who owns a MSI 645-Ultra motherboard, and who has some experience about it's "Wake On LAN" capabilities,
or,
- Someone at MSI who knows the detailed specifications of this motherboard (related to its "Wake On LAN" capabilities).
I own a "MSI 645 Ultra" motherboard for some time now (more than a year). It's based on SIS 645 chipset.
Currently, I'm trying to make the computer boot on demand, through the LAN.
So, I have an appropriate network card : its based on Admtek AN983, it supports "Wake On LAN" (WOL), and a WOL cable was included.
About the MSI 645 Ultra motherboard, I looked at the documentation, and, surprisingly, I didn't find any mention of the WOL feature.
Too sad, this "modern" motherboard doesn't support WOL feature ??
The doc says there is support for WOR (Wake on modem Ring), and there is a WOR connector. But no WOL connector.
So, what's the status of this motherboard, regarding WOL support ??
- Is it internally supported, without the need of a WOL connection, directly through PCI and PME signaling ?
- Can I use the motherboard WOR input connector, and plug the network card's WOL into it ?
- Is all of this non sense ??
Thanks in advance for your clarifications and tips.
Technical replies are welcome (I have a solid networking background)
Guillaume

Here I reply to myself : I think this will be useful to other people, whatever the motherboard model.
So, I just SUCCESSFULLY have been able to wake up my PC from the LAN
Here are my conclusions :
1- There's nothing in the motherboard documentation that explicitly indicates that it's supported. But it is !
2 - I didn't need to connect the LAN card to the motherboard (didn't need any WOL connection)
3 - I have a patched Windows XP. But its standard drivers for my network card weren't enough. I had to install the updated drivers from the manufacturer (admtek).
4 - With these drivers, I could then access, from Windows devices setup tool, to the network adapter APM properties, and I could "Allow Device to Bring Computer Out of Standby".
5. Inside the BIOS, a few things to setup :
Power Management Features
-> IPCA Function : Enabled
-> Power Management / APM : Enabled
-> Set Wake Up Events ... Wake Up On PME# : Enabled
Actually, this means that there is no explicit need for a "Wake On LAN" configuration. It all goes through PME# (i.e. direct PCI) wakeup events.
6. Then it works :-)
The excellent free tool available at
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/
does the job at the remote computer side (when fed with the valid MAC and IP addresses).
I'm very pleased... but I wish MSI had somehow indicated that the motherboard is WOL capable !

Error 41 - Kernel Power in event log after clean shutdown - Windows 8.0

HP Envy H9-1405A - 16MB RAM, Windows 8.0, and up to date with updates. (16 months old but under extended h/w warranty). All user data backed-up daily.
After problems earlier today I noticed that after a controlled shutdown and start from cool (ie on/off button on PC, not mains power at the wall) the startup took over 10 minutes. Event browser showed error 41 - Kernel Power - "after system crash or lost power unexpectedly", which it definitely hadn't as I was testing a controlled shutdown.
When starting from overnight sleep mode this morning it came up with blue screen and an error mssage something like 'hard disk driver error', or similar (before first coffee so I wasn't really awake). PC wouldn't restart in anything like reasonable time until powered off at wall, after which it struggled up and ran normally for a while. Went out for a couple of hours and on return again the PC wouldn't re-start from sleep mode. Again used the wall power switch to effect the restart and PC and after very slow restart it ran normally. Event log showed Startup Repair ran due to a corrupted registry hive, and reboot used an earlier version.
Checkdisk ran clean and the HP Support Assistant diags just looped for ever.
I then tried a system restart, which worked but took a long time, and then a controlled power down and start from cool which also took a long time as described above. I've temporarily turned off sleep mode so as to keep working.
Question - do I have a transient software problem which might be fixable with Recovery, or failing hardware that should be covered by warranty, and where might I find some hardware diagnostics to show to the supplier? Thanks.

Hello @mikerb,
I have read your post on how your desktop computer is displaying an error message in regards to a Kernel event log, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose this issue, I recommend following the steps in this document on Windows Kernel event ID 41 error "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first". This should help to resolve the critical error message.
Just to be on the safe side, I also suggest following this resource on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8); which should help determine if there is a hardware defect with one or multiple hardware components on your computer.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

It is just saying the previous shutdown was unexpected. If you BSOD we need the DMP file if not event viewer logs to diagnose it.
We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
We prefer at least 2 DMP files to spot trends and confirm the cause.
Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here
If you have any questions about the procedure please ask
Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem. The
work around is to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are, backup the key before you do
Press Win+"R" and input regedit

A corresponding StateChangeEvent should have also been triggered.
And as a recommended action I have:
+1. Follow the Recommended Action in the corresponding+
StateChangeEvent.
+2. If no StateChangeEvent is present. Follow the appropriate Service+

I would say if the first event can be alarming also after the second event.
Thanks

Hi.
1. Disk should be work normal. In case failure - should be replaced by hotspare automaticaly.
2. You can't clear this alarm. You cant' install base FW on this disk. ( CAM can't do downgrade FW).
For clear alarm you can install latest CAM + patches and Install Baseline FW on Array ( Arrays).
I don't remember from CAM 6.6 or 6.7 CAM don't set alarm in case disk firmware mismatch.
3. CAM don't have own password database. It use system password database. Change password for user on system where CAM is installed.
( In case Solaris - passwd <username>
Regards.

CPU power button event

I am using Windows 7 32bit OS and want to detect the CPU power button press event in my console application
developing in C language.
I configured the power button setting to "Do Nothing" which is in "Choose what the power button does"
options in Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Power Options. So now i want to detect this power button
press event and do some processing in my application then i will initate shut down from application itself.
Kindly provide the windows API details which will detect the power button press event.

Wake / Power problems

I love my MacBook... However, I have been having the same problems regarding Sleep / Power management etc. I searched support but have seen no updated in the KB.
1. Wake -- Several time my MB has not wake from sleep regardless of what I do. Sometimes it will not turn on at all.
2. I have shut the MB down only to come back and find a buring hot MB that is neither sleeping nor Off.
3. I have reset the PMU, no change.
4, Sometimes I need to remove the battery and reinstall in order to start it.
Power problems seem to be complicdted issues with the units
Any other suggestions would be great

I've been toying with this issue and I found that if my Bluetooth mouse gets moved before I open the lid then my MacBook is already waiting at the password prompt. If I then go and enter my password it goes back to sleep. I've got to be careful not to move the mouse otherwise it wakes the machine while the lid is still closed. But if I turn off the bluetooth wakeup then the mouse will not keep the MacBook from going to sleep while I'm using it.

MSI 845 Ultra - Fasttrack Error in w2k Events

Hello!
I have a little prob with my MSI 845 Ultra under Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
I installed W2K without problems, service packed, patched it, etc...
But I alway see an error in the System Event Log :
"The device, \Device\Scsi\Fasttrak1, did not respond
within the timeout period. "
That's a bit annoying :(
Does anyone already seen that ? What can I do to resolve that ?
Thank you in advance !

Strange noise on wake/power on

Hi everyone,
After about 2 months of usage I noticed that my rMBP emits a wierd, spin-like noise from below the right side of the keyboard when waking from sleep or on power on.
I've uploaded a sample I recorded with my iPod: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwWAoQidwCwbWGtYUFpjZF9FQ1E/edit?usp=sharing
Please turn on your volume when listening the sample as it's a bit low and the sound only lasts about half a second. You can hear it at the beginning of the file.
Possibly the problem was present on purchase, but the first time I've noticed it was a few weeks ago.
Is this noise normal? Anyone else had a similar experience?
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply Barry,
I also suspected the fan, as there are no other moving parts in the computer.
It seems strange though that it always starts with a loud spin regardless of temperature.

600xt won't occasionally won't wake/power-on... green light on the power adapter is out... strange

Within the last 3 weeks or so our TouchSmart 600xt has goes into an odd state 4 different times... after being left unattended for some time we'll return to find the machine appears to be off & will not turn on via pressing the power button (the button on the upper right edge of the screen.) It typically sleeps after 20min, and if sleeping he power button will be glowing orange... in this case the light is off entirely. Also, when this occurs the green light on the power adapter is not lit. The power adapter behavior is quite out of the ordinary; its light never seens to be off, even if the PC is shut down completely. But it is when this happens.
The only recourse seems to be to unplug the power adapter, then plug it back in, after which the green light on the adapter lights, the power button lights, & the machine can be turned on by the power button.
Concerned we will lose some files if the shutdowns keep occuring. We've had the machine nearly a year, and this is new behavior in the last 3 weeks. However note that not during every sleep cycle does it occur. (The machine goes to sleep after being unattended on average 6 times daily and this has happened "only" 4 times it slept in the last 3 weeks.)
Thoughts? Some power-saving circuit in the power adapter gone awry perhaps?
This question was solved.

I would suggest buying a new power adapter.
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.

2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)

K9A2-CF Wake-on-LAN

Hi all.
Does this Mobo support WOL? I am trying to wake a machine remotely (from off, not standby) for remote admin purposes, but it does not respond to the magic packet. I can find no options for it in the BIOS, although the onboard NIC does stay powered when the machine is off.
Any ideas?

In the manual, under BIOS settings I found this which may be related:
Resume By PCI Device (PME#)
When set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the
power saving modes through any event on PME (Power Management Event).
Resume By PCI-E Device
When set to [Enabled], the feature allows your system to be awakened from the
power saving modes through any event on PCIE device.
Not sure if the Realtek NIC is PCI or PCI-e device.....

I love my K9AGM2-FIH but one thing that bugs me is I can't find a way to get WOL to work with the onboard NIC, my old motherboard (don't even remember model/brand right now) does this fine, which is great as I can SSH my linux box behind my router, and WOL the windows box up and RDP it. If I could WOL the new system that would be great. I am thinking of throwing an old 3com NIC into the PCI slot and see if it'll wake from PCI event, assuming the 3com will send one. I know it has a cable for WOL to connect to WOL connector equipped motherboards.. could also try a few other NICs..
But really I want a way to WOL it from the onboard :( shouldn't have to run extra NICs and such just to do this :(

Well I am inquiring with MSI and so far they indicate it should work as long as you have the PCI PME# wake up enabled in power management. Thing is I already tried enabling all the wake up events, so now we're playing the "What version is your board" and "What wake on lan software are you using" game trying to narrow down the problem. I hope they're right in that it's supposed to work, if we find a solution I'll update the thread here

No Wake-On-LAN for powered-down Macs?

I'm relatively new to Mac and don't have a lot of Mac experience or knowledge. Last week I completed the "Mac OS X Deployment v10.4" training in Sydney where the trainer told me that Wake-On-LAN will only work if the Mac in question is in sleep mode -i.e., you can't wake up a Mac that has been shut down. Is this really true?
As an administrator of Windows machines this seems like quite a shortcoming. From where I am sitting I can rebuild any room of computers in any town in my area of control (an area greater than 100,000 square kilometres in NSW, Australia) without having to be there physically to turn on the PCs. At the moment our two Mac rooms are located at my own site, but without Wake-On-LAN, there's no way I could see Macs being deployed anywhere else.
If Wake-On-LAN really does only work with Macs in Sleep mode, then how much power does a 20" Intel iMac draw when in Sleep mode? I really don't like the idea of setting a schedule for every Mac to turn on at a certain time then have them go into sleep mode each and every day on the off chance that I might want to rebuild just one of them. This seems like an awful waste of power to me.
Don't get me wrong, here. I'm not trying to flame because I'm very - very - impressed with Mac in almost every other respect (except the Finder and the Dock) and would switch to Mac long before I stomach Vista, but no Wake-On-LAN to me seems like an incredible stumbling block to Mac adoption.

I've already complained of Mac's variation from the "standard" WOL implementation. This problem goes a step deeper as I just discovered.
If in the energy saver options you check the "Restart after a power failure event", the machine will do just that. If the power fails, and then comes back, the machine will boot.
If however, you cleanly shut down the machine, and then power fails, it does not turn back on when the power recovers. All PC's that have auto-power on with AC power restored set in their bios don't care if the machine was cleanly shutdown or crashed... when power comes back, it boots.
The problem here is that when a UPS detects a power failure and eventually decides to shut down the attached computer it should do so cleanly, not by just crashing it (that defeats the purpose of having a UPS!). After the computer turns off, the UPS will turn itself off, cutting power to the computer all together. When the AC power to the UPS returns, and the batteries charge sufficiently, it will turn BACK on, and restore power to the computers.
As it stands now, I have no mechanism by which to force my Mac to boot back up! I could depend on a linux machine on the network (that does behave properly) to send a WOL packet, but it doesn't do that correctly either... so I'm SOL
I can understand having 3 options for reboot after power restore. (1. Restore Always, 2. Restore when system on and power fails, 3. Never Restore).
Only giving us options 2 and 3 is just an oversight of how computers are used in the real world. For the desktop user that may on rare occasion find his machine powered off, and just presses the power button, this is a non issue... But in my opinion this completely eliminates a Mac like this from being used as a webserver/mailserver or other application where uptime is paramount.
I can't believe that Apple would overlook something so important and not provide a mechanism by which a UPS could turn a computer back on after a power recovery. Perhaps there is a non-published setting that doesn't have a check box on a form, that an OEM UPS driver would set that says "pretend you crashed".

Wake-on-LAN for 6712

I want to enable wake-on-LAN for the onboard LAN controller on my system, which has a KT4AV MS-6712 motherboard.
Is this possible, and if so, what BIOS settings do I require? I have tried enabling the PME (Power Management Event) on the Integrated Peripherals page, the ACPI standby state is set to S3/STR, I have enabled USB wakeup from S3 (that doesn't seem to work either), and Wake Up On Ring and Wake Up On PME and Resume on KBC are all enabled. The system _does_ wake on a keypress. In Windows WP, I have enabled "Allow this device to bring the system out of standby" (or words to that effect).
I watch the lights on the Ethernet hub flicker when the other system calls, but my system doesn't wake.
Thanks,
Phil Atkin

Hello! This is I know a difficult question, but first things first. I'm downloading the English manual from here. What manual have you got? The quickie/mult lingual might be too quick when it comes to BIOS.
