Hi<br/><br/>I have an HP Mediasmart EX470.<br/><br/>How can I configure it so that it auto-powers on after a power outage?  I assume this would be a BIOS setting so how do I edit the BIOS?  There is no display so is there a utility anybody knows of?<br/><br/>Looking forward...<br/><br/>Cheers<br/><br/>Daren<br/>© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

In either case you need to be able to hook up a keyboard as well...<br/> <br/> The BIOS in the EX470 is a Phoenix BIOS, if I recall correctly, so you might be able to figure out the keystrokes required. I would honestly not make the attempt without video, however. To that point, there's someone <a href="http://www.mediasmartserver.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=3980">over here</a> that was making cables at one point.<br/> <br/> All of this is unsupported of course, and if you hose your server severely, you will have very limited options. It's possible to brick your server with the wrong settings in the BIOS, I'm sure, so be careful...<hr class="sig">I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:18:37 Z2009-07-03T17:18:37Zhttp://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whshardware/thread/4a31326d-3070-4fc1-b2bd-f6bbb285f3e6#2d69913b-1426-4038-a44f-6b688c9a9a7fhttp://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whshardware/thread/4a31326d-3070-4fc1-b2bd-f6bbb285f3e6#2d69913b-1426-4038-a44f-6b688c9a9a7fDaren Fhttp://social.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Daren%20F<p>Hi<br/><br/>Could I simply plug in a USB docking unit tha has KVM ports?<br/><br/>Daren</p>Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:23:51 Z2009-07-04T12:23:51Zhttp://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whshardware/thread/4a31326d-3070-4fc1-b2bd-f6bbb285f3e6#9037d87d-8d06-4a66-9ee7-efc620e9c078http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whshardware/thread/4a31326d-3070-4fc1-b2bd-f6bbb285f3e6#9037d87d-8d06-4a66-9ee7-efc620e9c078Ken Warrenhttp://social.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Ken%20WarrenTypically no, because those docking units require driver support to function.<hr class="sig">I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:49:42 Z2009-07-04T13:49:42Z
