Remote Wake-Up and Multiple NIC Installations

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.

See your computer documentation if you are unsure whether your computer power supply can accommodate more than one Remote Wake-Up device.

Integrated Boot ROM with Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA)

The Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) software adds management capabilities to the NIC by enabling the computer to boot from a network server, rather than from the computer’s local drive.

This preboot support allows you to use management applications to perform the following tasks remotely:

■Install and configure a new computer that has never been connected to the network.

■Upgrade software.
