Presumably with this you could hook up a keyboard and a monitor, and change the BIOS settings so that it would power up automatically...
Thanks for this info, it's great. He makes a device that allows you to hook up a crt, keyboard and mouse to our server. There are others that have published how to hack the BIOS to get it to restart automatically on power fail, so the two could do the job. It bugs me to no end that we were one of the first to buy one of the HP servers and as pioneers we got killed. Now they want another $1,000 to buy a whole new server to fix their problem. This guy is selling access to the solution for approx. $80.

The problem I have now is we're pretty far down the road of getting rid of the HP server and never going back. They got me once and I don't want to give them another chance.
