I'm referring to these male connectors on the motherboard, doesn't the m90q gen 3 have it?
I do not use Wake on Lan because in the past when I used it, it was not very reliable for HomeAssistant, Alexa, etc... It was more reliable sonoff which I use on all my computers, although WOL would be much easier to implement and could be done on everyone, I don't know if anything has changed...
Sonoff also allowed me to turn off the computer or restart it if I wanted, WOL did not allow me.
Also WOL does not work for me when Lenovo has been turned off for hours, it only works when it has just been turned off recently.

I have the 9900 in a 920x. You will need to use throttlestop to tune a little otherwise it throttles the CPU down to 800 mhz under load due to PROCHOT thermal signals. I think the highest I saw the CPU package power go was 50-60 watts, I am assuming due to thermals, so you don't get the full power out of it. No issues other than that so far. I have been able to run a dedicated GPU in the PCIE slot as well but even with the biggest PSU the system will crash if the PCIE slot draws too much power (somewhere around 40ish watts I think) That is a documented problem with the PCIE slot on these machines regardless of the CPU and I haven't located a workaround.
Setting mine up as a windows 11 machine for home server so I can convert the previous server into a bare metal TrueNAS machine. If I had a 9900T I think I would be just fine and I'd even trade somebody if they wanted my 9900.
As far as I know the most current part number for this is 5C50W00933
I did have difficulty getting some GPU's to work, and reading through this tread some people have had issue with PCIE cards here and there. I have a service ticket into Lenovo but no response yet. I am using an ARC Pro A40 without issue with this riser card.
not sure if many folks have tried this yet for a 2.5Gbe NIC - M.2 A and E Intel i225V B3 2.5G Ethernet Server NIC for youyeetoo X1 M.2 A-Key and M.2 E-Key - AliExpress 7 - i have ordered a couple to test on my m80q & m90q, will update once tested.
In case anyone else has/wants an Intel X710-DA2 or SolarFlare SFN5152F 10Gb SFP+ NIC, I created some 3D printable PCI brackets:

M70Q G3 does not have a pcie expansion capability. M90Q is the only one that has it.
Does anybody knows if this is compatible with M90q gen2 / P350?

Why not just setup WoL to power on remotely?
Guess you already know - magic packets for WoL can be sent from various sources
I need to
"Power>Automatic Power On" you should see wake on Lan and some other options.
Try to activate all the given options.
I'm not home check for
"Power>Automatic Power On" you should see wake on Lan and some other options.
Try to activate all the given options.
I have tried and configured like this for proxmox:
Proxmox - Set wake on lan
Set your proxmox node to respond at wake-on-lan messages Install ethtool Install ethtool go to your node shell apt install ethtool Get your interface name ip addr Check if wake-on-lan is already activ You need to find how your interface is named. You cal look for it under System > Network In...
But without success.
Hmm try to use the onboard ethernet port maybe it's not working with the M2 ethernet card.I have tried and configured like this for proxmox:
Proxmox - Set wake on lan
Set your proxmox node to respond at wake-on-lan messages Install ethtool Install ethtool go to your node shell apt install ethtool Get your interface name ip addr Check if wake-on-lan is already activ You need to find how your interface is named. You cal look for it under System > Network In...sabbakix.com
But without success.
With the integrated port it apparently works, but with the pci/m2 port it should also work somehow.
