How to set auto power on
I have a new Vostro 200, and managed to get to the Power Management options in the BIOS setup. But I can't figure out how to set the auto power on "date" option.
On the computers at work, you just choose whether you want them to come on every day or every weekday. But on the Vostro, you have to choose a number between 0 and 31. Do I put in the date I want it to start, or will entering a specific number just make it come on that day? Should I enter 0 for it to happen every day?
The BIOS info says Phoenix AwardBios 1.0.11, by the way.
Thanks!

Discovered by trial and error that setting the date to 0 makes it happen every day. It's great!!! But it would have been nice if it were spelled it out in the BIOS help screen, or the online computer manual, or even the BIOS manufacturer's website--no help anywhere that I could find.
