BIOS Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I would recommend these options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Boot \u2192 Secure Boot \u2192 OS Type [Other OS) to disable it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Advanced \u2192 CPU Configuration \u2192 SVM Mode [Enabled] for Virtualization<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Advanced \u2192 APM Configuration \u2192 Power On By PCI-E [Enabled] for Wake on LAN<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Boot \u2192 Boot Configuration \u2192 Wait for F1 if Error [Disabled] because missing Keyboard\/GPU<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Shutdown and Wake on LAN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I live in a place with high power cost and turning it off when I’m not at home or sleeping makes sense. I know the drives don’t like that but If one fails, thats what the second is for, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shutdown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Setup a CRON Job with the command:
\/sbin\/shutdown -P<\/kbd><\/p>\n\n\n\nWake on LAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Search the name of your network adapter on the HexOS Dashboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go into System –> Shell<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Give yourself admin rights with:
sudo -i<\/kbd>
Then paste your truenas_admin passwort with CTRL+Shift+V<\/kbd><\/li>\n\n\n\n- Activate Wake on LAN on your Network device with:
ethtool -s [adaptername] wol g<\/kbd><\/li>\n\n\n\n- Check with
ethtool [adaptername]<\/kbd>
if Wake-on is g<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nMore ideas<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Your NAS should now react to Magic Packets but it might „forgets“ this setting, so someone suggested Init\/Shutdown Scripts<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good tool on Windows to send wake ups is NirSoft’s WakeMeOnLAN<\/a> commands<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Power saving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First, move the System Data Set to the boot-drive (System –> Advanced Settings –> Storage –> Configure). Else, every few minutes, something would be written on the HDD’s and they wouldn’t go into standby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now the 25.10 problem: They removed S.M.A.R.T settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some thing to explore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Can I use my boot SSD for other things? Its too large just for a bit of NAS software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- One power saving solution was to disable SMART and run it on startup with a script
Do the device names change on every startup?! Looks like, so my SMART scipts didn’t make sense. smartctl -n standby -t short \/dev\/sdx<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.crazy-memorys.ch\/IfixedIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-03-02-114752-1024x128.png\")

I’ve never used TrueNAS before and dived to many times into it to fix HexOS bugs, but it’s Beta software so I wont complain. Hardware This is what I use (a bunch of old Hardware laying around) and it’s probably not the smartest config. BIOS Settings I would recommend these options: Shutdown and Wake on … <\/p>\n
