2.7.14 Wake-On-LAN Connector

The system board supports the Wake-On-LAN function. This function

will allow the network to remotely power-on a Soft Power Down

(Soft-Off) PC. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you

can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

To use the Wake-On-LAN function, you must enable Resume on

LAN/Ring (Wake Up Events field) in the Power Management

Setup of the BIOS. Your LAN card package should include a cable.

Connect one end of the cable to the wakeup header on the card

and the other end to location J22 on the system board. The

network will detect Magic Packet and assert a wakeup signal to

power-up the system. Refer to the add-in cards manual for details.

Note: Your LAN card must support the remote wake up function.

Important:

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support

≥

720mA.
