troubleshooting faster and easier because you do not need

Remote Wake-Up
Remote Wake-Up is the ability to remotely power-on a
computer for after-hours administration.
If the computer complies with PCI 2.2, Remote Wake-Up
is automatically enabled through the PCI bus. If the
computer complies with PCI 2.1, Remote Wake-Up support
is enabled by connecting a Remote Wake-Up cable from
the NIC’s Remote Wake-Up (RWU) connector to a
3-pin Remote Wake-Up connector on the computer
motherboard.
The following items are required to use Remote Wake-Up:
■
Management application that supports Remote
Wake-Up
■
BIOS that supports Remote Wake-Up
■
PCI 2.2-compliant bus or a 3-pin Remote Wake-Up
connector on the computer motherboard and a 5-volt
standby power supply unit rated at a minimum of
375 milliamperes
■
To use multiple NICs as Remote Wake-Up NICs in the
same computer, the computer must have a power
supply that can support multiple Remote Wake-Up
devices.
If you are unsure whether the computer meets the
requirements listed above, refer to the computer
documentation or contact the computer manufacturer.
