1-9  WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY 
Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer 
through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in 
network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote 
wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on 
LAN connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the Ethernet interface; 
upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal that 
powers up the computer. This feature uses the Wake on LAN connector. 
CAUTION 
For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be 
capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate 
standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power 
supply.
