Sophos Home UTM 9 Distro: How to auto-restart Hardware (PC) after power failure?

Is there a Sophos UTM 9 Home distro setting to that will auto-restart the hardware on which it is installed after a power failure?  

The specific hardware used is MITXPC's EKNF9GM350 at http://www.mitxpc.com/proddetail.php?prod=EKNF9GM350.  I'm guessing that this is not a hardware setting, however.

I am guessing this is a BIOS or firmware type of setting. I would know how to do this on a Windows operating system. However, I have not been able to find out how to do this for the Sophos UTM 9 Home version.  I've read through several forums.

We travel a lot, but sometimes there are power outages of 9-10 hours after storms (the latest was Hurrican Matthew).  Our UPS provides power for about 2 hours, but the cost of a UPS to provide >10 hours of power is prohibitive (well over $1000).  Thus, we lose the Sophos UTM (because the hardware does not auto-restart) and we also lose the ability to see the security cameras (due to the Sophos UTM Home being off) until we return home.  I'm trying to fix that.

Thus: Is there a Sophos UTM 9 Home distro setting to that will auto-restart the hardware on which it is installed after a power failure, and if so, what is it and where can I find it?  

Please let me know.  Thank you!

  • think this is not adjustable in UTM.

    Look into BIOS of this hardware.. maybe it has a point like "after power-failure" or something similar.
