The board comes with two USB ports (CN14). See Figure 2-1 or Figure 2-2 for the
location of the ports.
2.8 LAN Function
The system supports LAN connection by integrating a 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet
controller and an RJ45 network port.
The system uses a PS/2-type SPS (Switch Power Supply) which provides a 5V/1A standby
power via the onboard connector JP9 (see Figure 2-2 for the location of the connectors).
The onboard LAN relies on this standby power for its operation. Once it receives a
“magic packet”1, the system automatically wakes up. These magic packets are sent via
management software that supports remote wake-up capability.
2.9 Hardware Monitoring Function
The Hardware Monitoring function allows you to check the system resources, either
locally or in a computer network, by using software such as Intel LDCM (LAN Desk
Client Manager). Intel LDCM is a desktop management program that offers the SMART
(System Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) monitor function for checking
local or network connected systems. In addition, it also enables the PC products and
applications to be OS (operating system) independent.
To enable the Hardware Monitoring function, you need to install Intel LDCM. Contact
your dealer for information on the availability of the software. Refer to the software
documentation for more details on the Hardware Monitoring function.
1 Magic packet is defined as a 16 bit "00000000011111111" header + NIC card Mac address. This packet passes
through the Ethernet wire. Once received by the LAN chip and an identical MAC address has been detected, the
LAN chip will start the WOL process.
