If you are using an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
aware operating system, such as Microsoft Windows 2000, disable this
choice to use Wake on LAN support. Otherwise, enable it.
If you are using a non-ACPI-aware operating system, do not send wake-up
packets to the server while it is turned on. If you send a wake-up packet to
the server while it is turned on and you are then unable to turn off the server,
call for service.
