Mac Mini Auto Boot - (bypassing power button)

You all seem to know a lot about the power connectors on the mac mini so hopefully this is the right place to ask...

I am installing a mini connected to a UPS which has the ability to remotely powercycle devices via telnet.

My question is, how can I have the mac mini automatically boot up when it gets powered on? Currently after applying power, I need to press the button on the back to boot up.

In case the system hangs I want to be able to cycle power to reboot the machine remotely. I am planning on using this ( http://www.wti.com/ips8.htm ) to do the power cycling , now I just need to know what I have to do to bypass the switch on the back of the mini.

Can I just jumper something on the motherboard? Any help on getting this working would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Go into the energy saver control panel, choose the options tab and select restart after power failure.
