I want to be able to put my Tower to sleep during certain times of day.  I've been trying to get wake on lan to work but have not been totally successful.  I can put my tower to S3 sleep using the button on the "User Scripts" page of UnMenu but waking up seems to be the challenge.

 

When I send a magic packet (UDP) to  port 7, the server wakes up to some degree.  The fans power on but that is it.  I can't access the server through the website or on a console monitor and keyboard connected directly to the Tower.

 

So, just to recap...

 

--The sleep command seems to work as my server goes to sleep on command.  (So BIOS setup seems to be correct?)

 

--The magic packet is being received by the onboard NIC and the machine is powering up to some degree.

 

--My server, while regaining some power, seems to not wake up completely as I can't interact with it until I hold the power button for 5 seconds to do a hard power-off.  It will then power-on normally when I press the power button again.

 

What am I doing wrong here?  Any help would be appreciated.  I've read through most of the threads dealing with WOL but have come up empty.  I have an ASUS P5B deluxe MB.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Update:

 

After much trial and error, I have found the following.

 

--If I have wake on PCI AND PCIe in the BIOS set to enabled, I can power-on from a powered-down state (using the Power down button on the Main control page).  Both PCIe and PCI wake enabled seem to be required even though I have the on-board PCI ethernet adapter disabled.  The on-board PCIe ethernet adapter is enabled.

 

--I can still not use the S3 Sleep button on the User Scripts page.  I have my BIOS set to "Repost Video on S3 Resume" and I have suspend mode set to "S3 only".  My server will only power-on partially with the fans running and the unraid server non-responsive.
