6: Using The Motherboard

Indicator LEDs

The motherboard front panel features connector supports three system status indicator LEDs:

•Power Status LED Indicator

Lights when the system is turned on.

•Hard Disk Drive Activity LED Indicator Flashes during hard disk drive access.

•Power Conservation Mode LED Indicator

Lights to indicate the system is in a Suspend state power conservation mode.

Most system housings will have all of these LEDs mounted in the housing’s front panel.

Additional System Features

This motherboard supports a system “Wake Up” feature that allows the system to resume from a Suspend state in response to a hardware event.

Wake-on LAN (WOL)

Function: The system wakes up in response to a signal arriving over a LAN that it is connected to.

Use: The P4D-N’s onboard LAN interface supports the WOL feature. In addition, the onboard WOL connector supports connection to an additional PCI Network Interface Card. The WOL cable from the card connects to the WOL connector on the board.

The feature is not enabled by default in the Power Management section of the CMOS Setup Utility. If you want to use it, set the “Wake-Up by PCI card” line to Enabled.
