Jay,

Sorry, the mention of powering up remotely from the previous thread was
more along the lines of addressable UPS and terminal servers for remotely
handling things like fdisk errors. So the mobo doesn't need this. So ignore
the mention of the previous thread,it was more of an update on a previous
issue. :-)
