Wake-On-LAN
Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is defined as the ability of a remote management ap-
plication to power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup,
updates and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that
daily LAN maintenance traffic can be kept to a minimum and LAN-system
users are not needlessly interrupted during normal work hours. The
motherboards have a 3-pin WOL header to connect to the 3-pin header on
a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN
must be enabled in the BIOS. Note that Wake-On-Lan can only be used with
an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for
proper and reliable operation. It is especially important for processors that
have CPU clock rates of 300 MHz and above. The SUPER P4DC6/P4DC6+
accommodate ATX power supplies.
NOTE: Auxiliary 12v power (J23/24) is necessary to support Intel
Xeon CPUs. Failure to provide such extra power will result in the
CPUs becoming unstable after only a few minutes of operation.
See Section 2-6 for details on connecting the power suppliy cables.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by
the CPU, some are inadequate. It is strongly recommended that you use a
high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply specification 2.02
or above. Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is
present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from
noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to
help avoid problems caused by power surges.
1-7 Super I/O
The functions of the disk drive adapter for the Super I/O chip include a
floppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/
765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data
rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt
and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O
greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with
floppy disk drives.
