Power Management
Wake on LAN
This option allows the computer to power up from the off state
when triggered by a special LAN signal. Wake-up from the
Standby state is unaffected by this setting and must be
enabled in the operating system. This feature only works when
the computer is connected to AC power supply.

special LAN signals.
This option is Disabled by default.

been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did
not complete.
•
Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the
boot process.
•
Auto — This allows the operating system to control this
setting (this works only when the operating system
supports Simple Boot Flag).
This option is set to Thorough by default.
