It’s a 12th gen Intel framework that I’m trying to run as a standalone server. I have both standalone and “Power on AC Attach” enabled in the BIOS.
All the standalone server part works perfectly (I think I’m using the latest BIOS - an update was required to enable standalone mode - how can I check the version from the BIOS itself?) but if I disconnect the power and plug it back in again, the lights turn on, and then after a little while there’s a flashing pattern, but the device doesn’t seem to actually start up at all.
If I press the power button after connecting the power then it boots just fine, but as a server I’d really like it to recover automatically if the power goes out momentarily.
There’s nothing unusual internally, just a disk & memory that seem to be working fine, I don’t think I’ve tweaked any other BIOS settings notably, and the only external connections are power and a USB-C ethernet dongle, both attached directly to the motherboard’s USB-C port (i.e. no expansion cards at all).
