Note 1: For LAN and PME# signal, S5 is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup program. Setting this option
to Power On will enable a wake-up event from LAN in the S5 state.
Note 2: For PS/2 devices, if the computer is in an S4 or S5 state, only the key combination alt-PrtScn will
wake the computer.
NOTE
The use of these wake-up events from an ACPI state requires an operating system
that provides full ACPI support. In addition, software, drivers, and peripherals must
fully support ACPI wake events.
