The WOL Connector
The Wake-Up On LAN connector is for connect-
ing a signal cable from a Local Area Network card
that supports the WOL feature. When this is in-
stalled, the system can be activated by a remote
signal sent over the LAN. You need to install the
LAN card before you connect this cable. Follow
the instructions that come with card and refer to
Chapter 3 if you need to for general information
on installing expansion cards. The cable will only
plug in one way. Look at the connectors and the
orientation will be obvious.

Checking The Installation

Once you have installed and connected internal
peripherals -- most likely at least a hard disk drive,
a floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM drive – check
and make sure everything is correctly and firmly
connected or installed. After that, assemble the
system housing and connect a monitor, keyboard
and mouse or other pointing device. Plug the
power cord into the ATX power supply and plug it
into a surge-protected power outlet.
Turn on the computer. The POST (Power On Self
Test) will run and should display the correct
memory total. The default BIOS settings should
automatically detect and configure any floppy disk
drives and IDE devices as well as assign resources
for any expansion cards you may have installed. If
you encounter a problem, reboot and run the
CMOS Setup Utility by pressing the delete key. If
you need help using the utility, see Chapter 4. The
system should now be ready to install an Operat-
ing System on the hard disk drive and the neces-
sary support software from the Support Disk.
