H8DI3+/I+(-F) Serverboard User’s Manual

Wake-On-LAN is defi ned as the ability of a management application to remotely 

power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and access 

tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffi c is kept 

to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The serverboard has a 3-pin header 

(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has 

WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in BIOS. 

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing 

when the system is in the SoftOff state. 

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and 

reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU 

clock rates.

The H8DI3+/I+(-F) Serverboard requires the use of proprietary power supplies. 

Please refer to the pinout information for the power connectors in Section 6 of 

Chapter 2 for detailed information on power requirements. 

In areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a 

line fi lter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install 

a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

Warning:  To prevent the possibility of explosion, do not use the wrong type of 

onboard CMOS battery or install it upside down.
