Dell 8920 Sleep Mode
Just received my Dell 8920 system and it really is fantastic. The only issue I have is being unable to 'wake' it after it goes into sleep mode other then pressing the power button which re-started it. I remember reading somewhere that I need to enable USB wake in the BIOS. Am confident to do this but just wondered why Dell don't set this up from new since they actually supply a USB mouse and keyboard? Thank you for advice on this Sam.

You did exactly as you should when a computer is in Hibernation. A brief press of the power button (NOT a press and hold which shuts it down) will wake the computer from Hibernation. You can change power settings in Power Options, change Advanced settings. Rule is try the mouse or key press first and then the power button if a key press doesn't wake it.
