Well, if I remember correctly, a computer can be used as a peripheral by another computer. You could setup a computer that waits for a redstone event then turn the other computer on.
--# Assuming the other computer is to the right
local hComputer = peripheral.wrap("right")
while true do
local tResults = { os.pullEvent("redstone") }
hComputer.turnOn()
end

Computers cannot turn on by redstone signal alone, but can only be turned on either with another computer with the example above, or with the player clicking on it.
What are you trying to accomplish? there may be a better way to do it, with less complication.

You could do this by using wired modems to connect your systems, instead of redstone.

And just a quick info: if you have a startup file in your computer, it will turn on when the server/world loads
