Chromebox G3
Chrome OS

I don't see a board specific to Chromebox's so if this is not the right place, please let me know where.

 

I recently purchased two of these Chromebox G3's to proof of concept digital signage.  The problem is that these specific devices will not automatically power on and boot when power is connected to the device.  These devices will be mounted high up on TV's and so if we lose power, I need these units to auto power up/boot.  I'm hoping there is a setting that I have not found that will allow this.  

 

I do have 2 Acer chromeboxes (also for this same POC) that do auto power on and boot when power is connected to the unit.  So is this a hardware/vendor specific setting?  Or should I be able to configure the HP G3 to behave the same as the Acer?
