IT11 Auto restart

[Grimlunch]

Hi
I have an IT11 that I need to auto restart after a power loss but I cannot find any relevant settings in the BIOS.
In fact BIOS is very basic.

Any suggestions.

Hi Grimlunch，

Good to see you in the forum.

About how to reboot after a power failure on IT11.

Please press F8 to restart after a power failure. If this does not work, you can only press DEL to enter the BIOS and reinstall the system.

Hope this helps.

Hi, that isn't quite what I meant.
We have a set-up on a site where the MiniPC carries out tasks but the site is powered by a generator.
They sometimes switch off the generator so that power is lost to the PC.
The issue is that when the turn the generator back on, the PC doesn't automatically restart.
So I was hoping to change the setting in the BIOS so that the PC does automatically restart.

I have looked in the existing BIOS settings but cannot see how to configure the PC to do this.

Are there settings someplace so that I can do this.
If there is a hidden advanced BIOS menu, how do I get into it.

Many thanks,

Graeme.

Dear Grimlunch，

A solution has been found for you, if this doesn't work, please contact me again.

How to set the computer to turn on when the power is restored?​

1. Press "DEL" or"F7" on the keyboard to enter the BIOS Setup interface when booting

2. Enter the "chipset" option

3. Enter the "PCH-IO Configuration" option


4. Modify "Restore AC Power loss" from "Power off" to "Power on"


5. Press "F4" on the keyboard, save and exit the BIOS, and it will take effect after entering the system

Unfortunately that menu option isn't available on the picture of the BIOS I was shown.

IT11 right?
You can try to change the default S5 to S0.
Please let me know if it works out.

Hi

It is an IT11. I am not sure when the engineers are due back on site but I have let them know what they should do.

I'll respond once I have heard back.

Thanks for your help.

Hi
Our engineer finally made it back to site and applied that change you suggested.
That appears to have fixed the issue.
So many thanks.
