Using Remote Wake-Up
Remote Wake-Up is the ability to remotely power-on a PC
for after-hours administration.
Remote Wake-Up support is enabled in one of two ways:
■ If your PC is compliant with PCI 2.2, Remote Wake-Up is
automatically enabled through the PCI bus. No special
installation is required. (See your PC documentation if
you are unsure whether your PC is compliant with
PCI 2.2.)
■ If your PC is not compliant with PCI 2.2, you must
connect a Remote Wake-Up cable from the NIC
Remote Wake-Up (RWU) connector (see Figure 1)
to a 3-pin Remote Wake-Up connector on the PC
motherboard. See “Connecting the Remote Wake-Up
Cable” in Chapter 2 for instructions.
