System management
Read this topic to learn more about features of system management.
Wake on LAN
A network administrator can use Wake on LAN to turn on a computer from a management console.
When Wake on LAN is used with network management software, many functions, such as data transfer,
software updates, and Flash updates of UEFI BIOS, can be performed remotely without remote attendance.
This updating process can be done after normal working hours and on weekends, to save time and increase
productivity. Users are not interrupted during normal working hours, and LAN traffic is kept to a minimum.
If a computer is turned on by the Wake on LAN function, the
Network Boot
sequence is used.
Setting management features
To enable the network administrator to control your computer remotely, you must configure the network
interface by setting the system-management features in the ThinkPad Setup program. You can configure
the following functions in the program:
• Wake on LAN
• Network Boot sequence
If an administrator password (supervisor password) has been set, you will need to specify it when you start
ThinkPad Setup to use these functions.
