Wakeup On LAN determines whether the Wakeup On LAN feature is set. The set-
tings for Wakeup On LAN are:
Off
On (Add-in NIC)
On (Integrated NIC)
If On (Add-in NIC) or On (Integrated NIC) is set, the system can be started up by a
special local area network (LAN) signal from a server management console. Wakeup
On LAN capability also allows remote computer setup, BIOS upgrades, software
downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on week-
ends when LAN traffic is typically at a minimum.
NOTE: The Wakeup On LAN feature functions even when the computer is turned off;
however, the computer must be plugged into a working electrical outlet at all times
and must be shut down in the normal method expected by the operating system.
Thus, if you disconnect the system power cable from its electrical outlet, if a power
failure occurs, or if you shut down the system abnormally, the Wakeup On LAN fea-
ture will not work.

Sound determines whether the integrated audio controller is On (the default) or Off.
When Sound is set to Off, no sounds are emitted from any attached external speak-
ers or from the on-board speaker, except for beep codes. Set Sound to Off if you
want to use a sound expansion card instead of the integrated audio controller or if you
need the resources used by the controller.

the system remotely.
