    Server Power On Feature
    « on: August 07, 2008, 01:40:49 PM »
    Hey all,

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2500 server running Linux Fedora 6.  The thing turns on every morning and I would like to disable that or change it to a later time.  I downloaded the Dell DCCU but it is an exe and Linux won't run it.  Can anyone tell me how to get to the SMBIOS so I may alter the power on setting?

    Any and all help is appreciated!!

    Thanks,

    I don't know specifics about this problem, but can't you get to BIOS by pressing DELETE when it boots?

    Alternately, to run Dell's exe file, you could download a FreeDOS iso, burn it and boot it.
