1-3 Thermister
(option)
This means that users can monitor the CPU temperature through thermister.
When setting up the thermister, the BIOS will load the CPU temperature automatically.
There is a choice of the warning beep sound if users set the option on. If the CPU
temperature overheated, users will get the notice from the thermister. This time you
should shut down computer and check your devices. Consequently, protecting and
monitoring the CPU temperature is the thermister’s job.
1-4 Wake-On-LAN
The remote Wake-On-LAN mode of operation is a mechanism that uses
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power up 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 up the sleeping
workstation. When the 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.
WOL LAN card will provide a 3-pin line to connect the WOL connector on the
mainboard.
CAUTION :
For Wake-on-LAN, the +5V standby line for the power supply must capable of
Deli5V
±
5
% at 720mA. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
implementing Wake-on-LAN, can damage the power supply.
Before you enable Wake-on-LAN function, first check your power supply
specification to meet the above requirement or not.
