SNAP 4500 and WOL

huispan · 01-26-2009, 03:52 AM

Does any one know if the Snap Server 4500 supports WOL?I know this is a very odd question, but seeing that the unit makes such a large noise and that I have it in my bedroom, i only want the unit to be on when I require data to be accessed. I know this isn't what it is supposed to do, but I'm inclined to use it like this. My plan is to WOL the unit when I need data and then I would just shutdown when done.

I had a look in the BIOS but nothing suggests this is possible. Are there any BIOS upgrades that would allow this?

Cheers in advance.

Not that I'm aware of. Design to be hammered for 24/7. These are server room units. I have mine in a cabinet with doors to keep the noise down.
