1-3-7 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN (WOL) mode of operation is a mechanism that uses
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power on a sleeping workstation
on the network. This mechanism is accomplished when the LAN card receives a
specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet, addressed to the node on the
network. For additional protection, Secure ON is an optional security feature that can
be added to the Magic Packet that requires a password to power on the sleeping
workstation. When LAN card is in remote Wake-On-LAN mode, main system power
can be shut down leaving power only for the LAN card and auxiliary power
recondition.
The LAN card performs no network activities while in the remote Wake-On-LAN
mode of operation. It only monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet. If a
Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the LAN card wake up the
system. If the Secure ON feature has been enabled, the password added to the Magic
Packet is also verified prior to waking up the system.
You should select two kinds of PCI Ethernet cards with WOL function. One is
Intel and the other is with PME signal supporting. And you can set “Wake Up On
LAN” this function enabled through “ Power Management Setup” from the BIOS
setup screen.
1-3-8 Ultra DMA 66 Cable
Ultra DMA 66 cable (40-pin connector & 80-line cable) is packaged while utilizing
VIA596B chip which supports both UDMA 33 & UDMA 66 on the mainboard. In
other words, Ultra DMA 33 cable is provided with VIA 596A chip supporting only
Ultra DMA 33. And the Ultra DMA 66 color coded connectors for connection are
shown as bellow:
