UNSOLVED
reboot jumper
Can anyone tell me whether the Dimension 9100 motherboard has a reboot jumper, and if so where?
This a jumper that can be connected to an i/o card so that the card can cause a reboot if needed. It is NOT the jumper used to reset BIOS -or- reset password.
Second question, is there a way to automatically schedule a reboot using BIOS or Windows XP? I know that the BIOS can be set up to schedule a machine "wake up and boot" from a powered-off state, but I need something that will cause an unattended machine to shutdown and reboot (when it is already powered up and running) on a regular schedule.
Thanks.

- Thanks for the advice, but I am looking for something that causes a machine that is powered up and operational to reboot (much like hitting the "reset" button on older machines -- immediate POR and begin boot regardless of whether the machine operating system is happy or hung).
Further I have an i/o card that is made to do this by connecting to the correct motherboard jumper IF it exists on the 9100 machine MB.
I believe the wakeup feature you recommend does the opposite -- it boots a machine that is powered off or in some sort of hibernation/sleep mode.
