Abstract:
A remote reboot device allows unattended computer systems to be rebooted or restarted from a remote location. The remote reboot device uses the reset pins on a logic board of a computer system to effectuate a reboot. The remote reboot device includes a network interface for secure communication over a network. A user performs a login procedure to set up a secure communication with the remote reboot device and then selects one or more server to reboot. The remote reboot device sends appropriate signals to the reset pins to perform the reboot operation. Multiple computer systems can be controlled with a single remote reboot device. Alternatively, the remote reboot device may be attached to the power control pins on the logic board of the computer system and use an appropriate signaling sequence to reboot the system.
