SING ETWORK
Compaq Deskpro models with integrated or preinstalled
network interface controllers (NIC) and network device drivers
are network-ready. Select models do not include a NIC.
Select NICs feature NIC-based alert support, which allows a
system administrator to remotely monitor personal computers
over the network. The computer can send hardware and
operating system failure alerts over the network before the
operating system is loaded or when the computer is powered
off. Depending on the NIC model, these alerts may include:
system BIOS hang
operating system hang
processor missing
operating temperature exceeded
chassis intrusion
Select NICs feature Remote Wakeup support, which allows the
system administrator to turn on power to a client computer from
a remote location, through the use of supported PC LAN
management tools.
CAUTION:
If you experience network problems, or problems with
starting your computer, check to ensure that the Remote Wakeup
cable is connected to the NIC board and to the expansion board
cage. If this cable is disconnected, the system will not operate
reliably.
Remote Wakeup support is available only when using an
RJ-45 network connection.
For more information on Remote Wakeup, refer to the
Intelligent Manageability guide, or to the online Remote
Management Administrators Guide. The Remote
Management Administrators Guide is included with the
Remote Management Administration Tools, and is
available on the Support Software CD for Compaq
Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products or at the
Compaq Web Site at www.compaq.com.
