Appendix K Compaq PCI 10/100 Ethernet Adapter
K.2.2 RSA FUNCTION
This adapter provides support for systems using the Remote System Alert (RSA) method of
generating alerts over the network. The RSA method is similar to the AOL function described
previously but does not use the PCI's SMBus for alert transactions. The RSA method uses an
AOL/SOS connector is provided on the card for connection to a compliant system board through a
7-conductor cable assembly. Up to six events may be detected by the adapter such as:
BIOS fail
OS fail
Intrusion
Fan alert
Power alert
Heartbeat
The RSA implementation requirements are as follows:
1.
System unit featuring the 810, 810e, 820, or 850 (or later) chipset.
2.
7-conductor AOL/SOS cable assembly.
3.
3Com EtherDisk Driver 5.x or later (available from Compaq).
4.
Client-side utility software (included with driver).
5.
Server-side utility software (available from Compaq).
6.
Management console running one of the following:
a.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager 6.x.
b.
Intel LANDesk Client Manager.
K.2.3 WAKE UP FUNCTIONS
The adapter provides two types of wake-up signaling: the PME- signal and the WOL signal.
The adapter provides PME- signal support for systems compliant with PCI ver. 2.2. The detection
of any wake event results in the adapter's assertion of the PME- signal, which can be used by the
system unit to initiate the power-up sequence. System software is responsible for the clearing the
PME- signal.
The adapter also includes a WOL interface for systems supporting that method of wake-up. The
adapter asserts the WOL signal for 50 milliseconds upon detection of a Magic Packet. The WOL
signal is routed to the system unit (through a three-conductor cable connection) for initializing a
power-up sequence.
