Energy Efficient Ethernet
The Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) feature allows a capable device to enter Low Power
Idle between bursts of network traffic. Both ends of a link must have EEE enabled for
any power to be saved. Both ends of the link will resume full power when data needs
to be transmitted. This transition may introduce a small amount of network latency.
NOTES:
• Both ends of the EEE link must automatically negotiate link speed.
• EEE is not supported at 10Mbps.
Remote Wake-Up and Wake on LAN
Microsoft Windows and Windows Server do not support wake from a power-off (S5)
state, only from standby (S3) or hibernate (S4). When shutting down the system, they
shutdown ACPI devices, including Intel adapters. This disarms the adapter’s remote
wake up capability. However, in some ACPI-capable computers, the BIOS may have a
setting that allows you to override the operating system 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.
NOTE:
• In some scenarios, the “Wait for Link” option (located on the Advanced Tab) needs
to be set to On for Wake on LAN to function properly. If you are experiencing any
difficulty getting WoL to work, please adjust this setting and try again.
