VIA 693/693A AT MAINBOARD
INSTALLATION

¨
MODEM RING-IN
( For ATX power supply only)
This mainboard can be triggered by a modem ring-in signal. When you have a
external
modem installed, you can use it to power on the PC system. When there is
the incoming message from the external modem, the PC system will be triggered by
the ring-in signal and wake up automatically to receive the message for you.
In order to use the ring-in signal to wake up your PC system, you will have to use
the
EXTERNAL MODEM
and have it connected to one of the
Serial Ports
(COM1
or COM2). When the system power is off, this mainboard will continue to detect the
serial port status. When it detects the ring-in signal from the serial port, the system
power will be turned on and start to receive the incoming messages automatically.
To enable the Modem Ring-In feature, you have to run the BIOS setup utility and
enable the “Modem or LAN resume” option (it is in the “POWER MANAGEMENT
SETUP”, please refer to Section 4.7
for the settings). Having completed the BIOS
setup, you have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can verify the setting. (the
“DMI pool data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading the operating system).
Simply speaking, shut down the PC system and then re-start the system. The modem
ring-in feature will be enabled when the operation system has been loaded.
Note: This function is not available when using the internal MODEM card.
¨
WAKE ON LAN ( WOL )
( For ATX power supply only)
There is a WOL connector CN14 (see Section 3-2) on the mainboard which is
designed to connect to the signal from a LAN card which supports the Wake On
LAN feature. When such LAN card is installed, you may turn on the PC system
from your remote server and monitor the PC status.
To enable this feature, you will have to use the BIOS setup utility to enable the
“Modem or LAN resume” (it is located at “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”,
please refer to Section 4-7 for the settings). Having completed the BIOS setup, you
have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can verify the setting. ( the “DMI pool
data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading the operating system). Simply
speaking, reboot the PC system, the Wake On LAN feature will be enabled when the
operation system has been loaded
Note: This function will be disabled if you turn off the power before the system
can verify the DMI pool data.
