I am a tech for a school district. We have iPads in carts and when they are plugged in they automatically turn on. This keeps them on the wireless when not in use which uses up our wireless ports. Is there a way to keep them from turning on when plugged in?

There isn't. However, you can plug them in, then turn them off. At this point they will stay off.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. It's hard to get to the power button once they are in the cart. The teachers have a really time with it.
You are welcome. It may be a bit of a nuisance, but would it work if you were to set the iPads to Airplane prior to connecting to the chargers?

Have you looked into adding more ports to your configuration. Isn't the number of ports a configuration option?
