1-8 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN(WOL) mode of operation is a mechanism that uses
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power on a sleeping workstation
on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a
specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the
network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can
be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power on the sleeping
workstation. When LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power
can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power
recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote
Wake-On-LAN mode of operation. It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic
Packet. If a Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card
wake up the system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to
the Magic Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system.
You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is
Intel and the other is with PME signal supporting. And you can set “Wake Up On
LAN” this function enabled through “ Power Management Setup” from the BIOS
setup screen.
1-9 Thermister
(optional)
If Hardware Monitor is built onboard, CPU temperature can be monitored by
setting up the Thermister.
When setting up the thermister (refer to Appendix B), the BIOS will load the
CPU temperature automatically. A warning beep sound will be sent out if the user set
the option on. If the CPU is overheated, the user will get the warning. Then you should
shut down computer and check your devices. Or contact you dealer for further help if
CPU temperature persists.
Note: If you would like to enable the function of hardware monitor, to set up
thermister beforehand is necessary. RT2 is the thermister connector.
