| WakeonLan a G5 ? |
Posted by: galgot on 2014-11-18 02:19:54
Hi,
I have a nice imac G5 that i'm trying to wake without success on local network.
I've tried different apps for that , Wakeonlan from readpixel, and WakeOnMac…
Anyone know if there is something specific in G5 Macs power management that prevent it to work ? I know it's different from G3 and G4 , for example a Linux installed on a G5 can't make it sleep cause it uses SMU (System Management Unit)
rather than PMU…
Doesn't WakeOnLan work with SMU ?

Try wake for network access in the Energy Control Panel?

I've tried WakeOnLan command line tool , on different ports . still not waking.

Funny, it seems to affect Xserve G5 too :

My G5 towers wake up fine. Haven't tried it with my old G5 iMac.

Ok, it now works 🙂
Found this :
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetpmchip.html
My model is an iMacG5 (earlier model), so had to follow that guide :
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2173
and find the SMU reset button (next to the internal power button), and press it.
Funny stuff.
