Automatically restart with return of the AC power

Question

Is it possible to automatically restart a ZNB with return of the AC power?
We use it in an automated line and don't want to start it separately.

Answer

Yes, this is possible, but you have to change a BIOS setting.

For ZNB do the following steps:

- connect a keyboard to the ZNB
- switch on the ZNB and push several times the Delete button on the keyboard till you enter the BIOS
- go to Advanced
- open the point 'On Board Device Configuration'
- Enable the point 'Hide AMI Items'
- push ESC to exit the point Advanced
- go to Chipset
- open the point 'PCH-IO Configuration'
- change the poin 'Restore AC Power Loss' to Power On
- push F4 to save the new BIOS settings

Now the ZNB should start automatically when it gets AC power.
