Remote Wake-Up and Multiple NIC Installations
To use multiple NICs as Remote Wake-Up NICs in the same
computer, the computer must have a power supply that
can support multiple Remote Wake-Up devices.
See your computer documentation if you are unsure
whether your computer power supply can accommodate
more than one Remote Wake-Up device.
Integrated Boot ROM with Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA)
The Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) software adds
management capabilities to the NIC by enabling the
computer to boot from a network server, rather than from
the computer’s local drive.
This preboot support allows you to use management
applications to perform the following tasks remotely:
■ Install and configure a new computer that has never
been connected to the network.
■ Upgrade software.
