Wake on LAN/WLAN

This option allows the computer to power up from the off state when triggered by a

 

special LAN signal. Wake-up from the Standby state is unaffected by this setting

 

and must be enabled in the operating system. This feature only works when the

 

computer is connected to AC power supply.

 

Disabled - Does not allow the system to power on by special LAN signals

 

 

when it receives a wake-up signal from the LAN or wireless LAN. (Default

 

 

Setting)

 

• LAN or WLAN - Allows the system to be powered on by special LAN

 

 

signals or WLAN signals.

 

• LAN Only - Allows the system to be powered on by special LAN signals.

 

• LAN with PXE Boot - A wakeup packet sent to the system in either the S4

 

 

or S5 state will cause the system to wake-up and immediately boot to PXE.

 

• WLAN Only - Allows the system to be powered on by special WLAN

 

 

signals.

Block Sleep

Allows you to block the computer from entering into the sleep state. This option is

 

disabled by default.

 

Block Sleep (S3)

Peak Shift

Peak Shift can be used to minimize AC consumption during peak power times of

 

day. For each weekday listed, set a start and end time to run in Peak Shift mode.

 

During these times the system will run from the battery even if the AC is attached

 

as long as the battery stays above the threshold specified in the Battery Threshold

 

field. After the end time specified the system will run from AC if attached but will

 

not charge the battery. The system will again function normally using AC and

 

recharging the battery after the Charge Start time is specified. This option is

 

disabled by default.

 

Enable Peak Shift

Advanced Battery Charge

This places all batteries in the system in Advanced Battery Charging Mode to

Configuration

maximize battery health. In Advanced Charging Mode the system will use standard

 

charging algorithm and other techniques during non-work hours to maximize

 

battery health. During work hours express charge is used so that the battery will be

 

charged faster and therefore ready to use again sooner. For each weekday, specify

 

the time of day in which the system will be most heavily used. Setting the Work

 

Period to 0 means the system will only be lightly used that day. This option is

 

disabled by default.

 

• Enable Advanced Battery Charge Mode
