and the devices on the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS information.

Preboot eXecution Environment

Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes your computer more manageable (it is PXE

2.1-compliant) by enabling it to boot (load an operating system or another executable image) from a server. Your computer supports the PC functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN card, your computer can be booted from the PXE server.

Note: Remote Program Load (RPL) cannot be used with your computer.

Wake on LAN

A network administrator can use Wake on LAN to turn on a computer from a management console.

When Wake on LAN is used with network management software, many functions, such as data transfer, software updates, and Flash updates, can be performed remotely without remote attendance. This updating can be done after normal working hours and on weekends, to save time and increase productivity. Users are not interrupted during normal working hours, and LAN traffic is kept to a minimum.

If a computer is turned on by the Wake on LAN function, the Network boot sequence is used.

Asset ID EEPROM

The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the system, including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components. It also includes a number of blank fields in which you can record information about the end users in your network.

Setting management features

To enable the network administrator to control your computer remotely, you must configure the network interface by setting the system-management features in the ThinkPad Setup. That utility contains the following functions:

•Wake on LAN

•Startup sequence

•Flash update

If an administrator's password (supervisor password) has been set, you will need to specify it when you start the ThinkPad Setup, so that you can use these functions.

Wake on LAN

When the Wake on LAN feature is enabled on a computer that is connected to a LAN, a network administrator can start the computer remotely from a management console, using remote network-management software.

Setting up in the ThinkPad Setup

To enable or disable Wake on LAN, go to the ThinkPad Setup menu. When your computer is not under the network administrator's system management, you can disable Wake on LAN.

To set this function, do the following:

1.Start the ThinkPad Setup menu.

2.Select Config.

3.The Config submenu appears.

4.Select Network.
