    Default No UPS

    Can anyone tell me in the absence of an UPS how to cause a computer to auto restart after a power failure, I remember we had a remote narrowcast installation years ago which was set to do just that but I can't remember how we did it .. I have searched this without any luck, maybe using wrong terminology, its probably something simple but it escapes me atm.
    Appreciate your help.

    Go into bios and in the power settings there should be a option that you can set to say turn on after power loss.
    What would you do if your server was stolen or failed beyond repair?

    Thanks Cwispy

    I thought it would be something simple like that but for the life of me I couldn't remember where to look.

    No computer should really be without an UPS these days. Data is easily lost / corrupted when power is dropped on a PC without a proper shut-down.
    UPS are not expensive really - even a cheaper one would allow a controlled shut-down and is better than no UPS at all.
    APC is a very good brand.
