Wake on LAN Wake on LAN, a hardware feature that enables the remote power on of computers through special network packets, is enabled in core PCI/PCI-X slots one and two.

Ropes Ropes is an HP-proprietary, custom bus interface. It clocks data packets across long-length nets using source synchronous clocking schemes. There are eighteen signals bundled per Ropes group, of which there are a total of 16 in the rx3600. Each group is capable of 0.5GB/s peak bandwidth. Table 1-1 (page 27) and Table 1-2 (page 28) display the association of the Ropes group(s) to the PCI slot / HBA to which they connect.

Figure 1-1 (page 26) is a block diagram of the PCI/PCI-X I/O subsystem, and Figure 1-2 (page 27) is a block diagram of the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe I/O subsystem.
