1-9 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY

Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on LAN connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the Ethernet interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal that powers up the computer. This feature uses the Wake on LAN connector.

*CAUTION

For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power supply.
