LAN Wake Capabilities

CAUTION
For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby
current when implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power supply.
LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network.
The LAN network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface.
Upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal
that powers up the computer. Depending on the LAN implementation, the board
supports LAN wake capabilities with ACPI in the following ways:
• The PCI Conventional bus PME# signal for PCI 2.3 compliant LAN designs
• The onboard LAN subsystem
1.10.2.4

Instantly Available PC Technology

CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply
must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide
adequate standby current when implementing Instantly Available PC technology can
damage the power supply.
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-
RAM) sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the
power supply is off, and the front panel LED is amber if dual colored, or off if single
colored.) When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to
its last known wake state. Table 7 on page 29 lists the devices and events that can
wake the computer from the S3 state.
The board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. Add-in
boards that also support this specification can participate in power management and
can be used to wake the computer.
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and
PCI 2.3 compliant add-in cards and drivers.
