• If you plan to use the Wake on LAN (WOL) function in the server, you must
install a Wake on LAN-enabled NIC adapter in PCI slot 1, and install the Wake
on LAN cable that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter to connect this adapter
to the system board. You must use a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter as identified
in the xSeries 220 ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. Only
PCI slot 1 supports a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter. For additional information
on the Wake on LAN function, adapter, and cables, refer to the documentation
that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter.
• If you plan to use the optional system-management adapter in the server, you
must install the optional system-management adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI
slot 2 supports the optional system-management adapter. For additional
information on the optional system-management adapter, refer to the
documentation that comes with the adapter.
