Preparing the NIC and the Computer

Observe the precautions listed in Safety Precautions on page 27. Follow these preparation steps:

1Decide whether you want to use Remote Wake-Up.

If you want to use the Remote Wake-Up feature on a computer that complies with PCI 2.1, you must obtain a Remote Wake-Up cable for the NIC (for details, see Remote Wake-Up on page 21). If the computer complies with PCI 2.2, Remote Wake-Up is automatically enabled through the PCI bus and no Remote Wake-Up cable is required.
