Automatic Power-On Features
The Automatic Power-On features within the Advanced Power Management menu
allow you to enable and disable features that turn your computer on automatically.
Serial Port Ring Detect: If your computer has an external modem connected to
the serial port and you want the computer to turn on automatically when a ring
is detected on the modem, set this feature to Enabled.
Modem Ring Detect: If your computer has an internal modem and you want
the computer to turn on automatically when a ring is detected on the modem,
set this feature to Enabled.
Wake Up on Alarm: With this feature, you can specify a date and time at
which the computer will be turned on automatically. This can be either a single
event or a daily event.
Wake on LAN: If your PC has a properly configured token-ring or Ethernet
LAN adapter card that is Wake on LAN-enabled and you have remote network
management software, you can use the IBM-developed Wake on LAN feature.
When you set Wake on LAN to Enabled, your computer will turn on when it
