CMOS RTC Alarm Date

So, I recently started folding after seeing the distributed computing build guide by LTT. I have dedicated my gaming rig to run Folding@Home during the school day in addition to as many citrix servers as I can commandeer. However, I want my system to turn on at a certain time. So I hopped into my BIOS and put in a test time about 5 minutes later. I then waited, but it never turned on even after it had been saved multiple times. I then realized that my alarm date had been set to 0. Is there a way I can tell it to turn on no matter what the date is?

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

- Cave Johnson, founder and CEO of Aperture Science, in Portal 2
