hibernate mode

[haoxing.ren]

I built a system with ECS NForce6M-A motherboard and AMD 64 dual core
CPU running Windows XP. I am currently using it as a printer server.
Since it's a bit noisy (I used an old PSU), and it's idle most of the
time, I'd like it to be in hiberate mode most of the time. But it
should wake up by any network print job or keyboard/mouse event.

I did not find a way to do it in Windows. I can hibernate it manually,
but it will not turn on by keyboard/mouse or remote print job. Do I
need to configure BIOS for this?

Thanks,
haoxing

Here's a start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN

It's definitely a BIOS setting issue. I assume you've consulted your MB
manual for information.
