Hello Don, I almost did not read this thread, since the subject said "Shut down" and not "Boot Up"... But I'm glad I did not pass this by! As soon as I reboot, I'm going to try this on my SuperMicro 5046AXB. If I leave my MP3 player plugged in when I re-boot, my system will not start... So, off to my BIOS... Steven P.
