Physical Installation Issues
Slot
Some motherboards will only support remote wake-up (or remote wake-up from S5 state) in a particular slot. See the
documentation that came with your system for details on remote wake-up support.
Power
Newer Intel PRO adapters are 3.3 volt and some are 12 volt. They are keyed to fit either type of slot.
The 3.3 volt standby supply must be capable of supplying at least 0.2 amps for each Intel PRO adapter installed. Turn-
ing off the remote wake-up capability on the adapter using the BootUtil utility reduces the power draw to around 50 mil-
liamps (.05 amps) per adapter.
Operating System Settings
Microsoft Windows Products
Windows Server 2008 is ACPI-capable. These operating systems do not support remote wake-up from a powered off
state (S5), only from standby. When shutting down the system, they shut down ACPI devices including the Intel PRO
adapters. This disarms the adapters' remote wake-up capability. However, in some ACPI-capable computers, the BIOS
may have a setting that allows you to override the OS and wake from an S5 state anyway. If there is no support for
wake from S5 state in your BIOS settings, you are limited to wake from standby when using these operating systems in
ACPI computers.
The
Power Management
tab in Intel PROSet includes a setting called Wake on Magic Packet from power off state for
some adapters. To explicitly allow wake-up with a Magic Packet from shutdown under APM power management mode,
check this box to enable this setting. See Intel PROSet help for more details.
In ACPI-capable versions of Windows, the Intel PROSet advanced settings include a setting called Wake on Settings.
This setting controls the type of packets that wake the system from standby. See Intel PROSet help for more details.
In ACPI computers running ACPI-aware operating systems with only base drivers installed, make sure the wake on
standby option is enabled. To enable wake on standby, open the Device Manager, then navigate to the
Power Man-
agement
tab setting. Check the setting
Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby
.
NOTE:
To use the Wake on LAN features on the Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter, Intel®
PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter or Intel® PRO/1000 PF Server Adapter, WOL must first be enabled in the
EEPROM using BootUtil.
Other Operating Systems
Remote Wake-Up is also supported in
Linux
.
Using Power Management Features
You must use Intel PROSet to configure advanced features such as teaming or VLANs. For more information, see
Power Management Settings for Windows Drivers
.
Optimizing Performance
You can configure Intel network adapter advanced settings to help optimize server performance.
The examples below provide guidance for three server usage models:
l
Optimized for quick response and low latency
– useful for video, audio, and High Performance Computing
Cluster (HPCC) servers
l
Optimized for throughput
– useful for data backup/retrieval and file servers
l
Optimized for CPU utilization
– useful for application, web, mail, and database servers
