Setting Management Features - Lenovo ThinkPad L420 User Manual

If a computer is turned on by the Wake on LAN function, the Network boot sequence is used.

Setting management features

To enable the network administrator to control your computer remotely, you must configure the network
interface by setting the system-management features in BIOS Setup Utility. That utility contains the following
functions:
• Wake on LAN
• Startup sequence
If an administrator's password (supervisor password) has been set, you will need to specify it when you start
BIOS Setup Utility, so that you can use these functions.
Wake on LAN
When the Wake on LAN feature is enabled on a computer that is connected to a LAN, a network administrator
can start the computer remotely from a management console, using remote network-management software.
Setting up in BIOS Setup Utility
To enable or disable Wake on LAN, go to the BIOS Setup Utility menu. When your computer is not under the
network administrator's system management, you can disable Wake on LAN.
To set this function, do the following:
1. Start the BIOS Setup Utility menu.
2. Select Config.
3. The Config submenu appears.
4. Select Network.
5. The Network item submenu appears.
6. For Wake On LAN, select either Enabled or Disabled.
7. Press F10.
Network boot sequence
When your computer is turned on remotely, system will try to boot from the device that is selected by
Network boot setting, then it will follow the boot order list in the Boot menu.
To define a sequence:
1. On the BIOS Setup Utility menu, select Startup. The Startup submenu appears.
2. Select Network and press Enter to display the boot device list.
3. To set the startup sequence that the BIOS will use, press F5 or F6 to move the device up or down.
