Is their any way for UnRaid to put your server in Stand By mode afte a certain time period? Or atleast turn off fans?

Right now the disks do all spin down but the fans never shut off

 

I am guessing this is a limitation of my old mother board

unRAID supports the feature to spin down drives when not in used, which you can be set for 15, 30, 45 or more minutes. Newer releases of unRAID allow you to place drives in logical groups, to set certain drives to power down when not in use. When you need to access the drive(s), unRAID will power them back on.

You will find answers/suggestions in the Wake On LAN discussions.

Good call, I remember I had to write a line or two into my Go script to officially support WOL for my unRAID box, something to keep the NIC powered on or in a certain state when the unRAID OS shuts down. I'll try to get this and post it as soon as I can. Your BIOS must be set to S3 Mode also, not S1. Cheers!

 

Actually I gone into in my Go script and all I have is the powerdown add-in and a few things, BUT I had to enter the command below:

 

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

 

which initialized the WOL for my NIC and has kept it (not sure if it was before or after installing powerdown?, can't). The link from the post that mcs wrote earlier confirms the command above. Hope this helps. Cheers!
