A8N-SLI Premium resuming from hibernation unexpectedly
My A8N-SLI Premium was the third computer in my office, so I had to
switch from my old trusty 2-port Linksys KVM to a 4-port IOGear KVM. However, with this switch, if I Hibernate the A8N-SLI Premium and then switch to another computer after the hibernation is complete, it resumes from hibernation. If I quickly switch away from it while it's still "Preparing to Hibernate," it finishes the process and remains in Hibernation. If I inadvertently switch back to it, it comes out of Hibernation. All the functions like wake-on-LAN, -keyboard, -modem, and -mouse are DISabled in BIOS. The key sequence necessary to switch the new KVM is CTRL-SHFT-ALT (followed by a port number). I can't tell if it wakes either of the other computers, because I've never been able to make either of them Hibernate (one's too old, and the other's an A7M266 that should be capable of Hibernation, but has never been able to do so). How can PS2 input make a Hibernating computer come out of Hibernation? Ron |

My a8n-sli-p is set to hibernate after 2 hours. Any input on the PS2
wakes it up. Many KVM's reset the signals to the PS2 ports when you switch computers. Try hibernating the PC w/out the KVM and see it if works. If it does, it's your KVM. Not sure about your a8n-sli-p, but mine takes as long to hibernate as it does to power off then back on. About 8 seconds. Might be stuck powering it off when not in use. I've noticed on one of my KVM setups that wake on keyboard and wake on PS2 do *not* work when the P4P800 is plugged into the KVM. I think that's an IOGEAR one, not sure. |

HOW it's possible for the KVM to do that.
PC comes out of hybernation because of of voltage changes (that's all keystrokes are anyway) on the PS2 port waking it up -- kvm sends these voltages that wake it up -- only thing that makes sense. Some of my newer KVMs (we have many here) reset the KM signals each time ya change the selected computer in an effort to fix certain issues found in older syle KVMs. Such as a PC remotely rebooted no longer having KM at the console if another machine was selected at the time of reboot. Sort of the opposite of my problem. Yea. Might try a different KVM, eh? Though probably not an IOGear..?
