How to Power On Dell Poweredge Server Remotely & Safely? (lemmy.ml)

Some background:

have a poweredge r320 on battery backup (basic APC unit)
have unifi dream machine
poweredge powers down automatically if power goes out

What's the safest way to allow myself to power on the server in the event it shuts down while I'm not home?

I figure since I have remote access to my UDM, perhaps there's a command I can execute from there to power it on?

My fear is using a method that provides more than just poweron commands remotely. I want to keep the server attack vectors down.

Idrac, wake on lan, and plug-in behavior: power in bios are all great options here.
