function from BIOS setup. (Please refer to page 32). This allows the modem to

remotely power on the system.

IrDA-Compliant Infrared Module Connector (JP4)

The IrDA connector bracket hooks directly to this connector on the
mainboard. This connector provides support for the optional
wireless transmitting and receiving infrared module. You must
first configure through the BIOS setup where UART2 is directed,
COM2 or IrDA.

* Pin 6 is reserved for consumer IR.

Wake-up On LAN Connector (J12)

The Wake-up On LAN function will allow the network to wake up
a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. However, if your system is in
the Suspend mode, you can wake-up the system only through an
IRQ or DMA interrupt. To use the Wake-up On LAN function,
you must enable the “

Power On by Ring/LAN

” field in the Power

Management Setup of the Award BIOS. Connect the cable that
comes with your LAN card to location J12 on the system board.
Refer to the add-in card’s manual for details. Note: Your LAN
card must support Magic Packet in order to use the Wake-up-On-

LAN function
