Introduction
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to re-
motely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-
dates and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that
daily LAN traffic is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The
motherboards have a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on
a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN
must be enabled in 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 even more important for processors that
have high CPU clock rates.
The SUPER P4DP8-G2/P4DPE-G2/P4DPR-8G2+/P4DPR-iG2/P4DP6/P4DPR ac-
commodates ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally
meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. You
should use one that will supply at least 400W of power and includes the
addi12V, 8-pin power connector - an even higher wattage power
supply is recommended for high-load configurations. Also your power sup-
ply must supply 1.5A for LAN1 and LAN2.
NOTE: Auxiliary 12v power (J15) is necessary to support Intel Xeon
CPUs. Failure to provide this extra power will result in the CPUs
becoming unstable after only a few minutes of operation. See
Section 2-5 for details on connecting the power supply cables.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that
meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI
compliant (info at http://www.ssiforum.org/). 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.
