I had tried all sorts of things; I'd unplugged network cable, etc. However, it turned out to be something to do with a BIOS setting to wake up computer via keyboard. This was set to "Any Key" - this appears to cause it to immediately wake up without pressing anything. I wondered if I had a sticky key, but can't see anything obviously wrong with it. I tried changing the BIOS setting to 98 keyboard, but that immediately wakes too (not sure what that option really means). It's a USB Keyboard, but also connected with standard PS2 cable. It only seems to wake up if the standard PS2 cable is connected - in USB-only mode, there's no wakeup. I changed it to require hotkey Ctrl+F1, and that works. Curiously, in suspend mode, any key press seems to wake server, even with USB-only connection, and with "Wake on Keypress" set to Hotkey Ctrl+F1. Similarly, Wake on Mouse is set to "Click", but this doesn't wake up server from S3(STR) Hibernation, but it does in S1 mode. I think it's something to do with USB not performing wake from power off mode (USB Hub device has an unticked greyed out "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby"). I've tried all sorts of BIOS setting changes, even a registry patch, but can't get USB mouse or USB-only keyboard to wake from S3. I thought there was more of a difference in power-saving between S1 and S3 modes, but having googled the topic a bit the last few days, hibernation only seems to save 1-2W (by allowing RAM refresh to power off). _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
