Hello, Tomislav,<br><br>Anthony is right pointing that the "On after AC loss" or a similar feature would help on multiple occasions of sudden loss of power, however a switch would probably be handy in your setup. <br>
<br>Basically any microswitch from an electronics shop would go. It might<br>be more difficult to attach the wires to the pinout on the motherboards. Also note that in most ATX cases the wires are run through a ferrite bead to reduce high frequency interference.<br>

Hi again,<br>
<br>
where can I get an "on/off" and "reset" switch for ATX motherboard<br>
without buying and ripping apart a case?<br>
<br>
Should I make one? I'm planning on having up to 12 mobos: should I use<br>
software for powering them off and reseting them (i.e. over LAN), or<br>
make a bunch of switches and place them in a case? Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
I'm afraid to use a screwdriver and short circuit the pins. :)<br>

Hello, Tomislav.<br>
<br>
You could set the BIOS to power state to "ON after AC loss".<br>
<br>
I do this because I have lots of COTS PC's in tower cases on industrial shelving in our computer room and it's awkward to go round pressing all the on/off switches ;-)<br>
<br>
Bye,<br>
<br>
