Chapter 1 Introduction
6253M Mainboard
The remote
Wake-On-LAN(WOL)
mechanism is built on 6253M Mainboard
Advanced Micro Device Magic Packet technology to power up a sleeping workstation
on the network. This mechanism is accomplished with a LAN card which should also
be built with
“WOL” and
connected to 6253M Mainboard. When main system
power is off , leaving
5V power through the ATX power supply, the LAN card
remains at the “Wake-on-LAN” mode.
LAN Card built with “
WOL”
monitors the network for receipt of a Magic Packet sent
from the server. If a Magic Packet is addressed to the LAN card on the network, the
LAN card wake up the system. If the “Secure ON” feature is set up in BIOS, a
password is needed to verify the Magic Packet prior to waking up the system.
“WOL” LAN Card should provide a 3-pin cable to connect itself to the
mainboard.
CAUTION :
To implement Wake-on-LAN, the standby power supply should be capable of
deli5V
±5
% with 720mA.
To locate “WOL” connector, please see
“Component Location Diagram.”.
1-7 Thermister
(optional)
If Hardware Monitor is built onboard, CPU temperature can be monitored by
setting up the Thermister.
When setting up the thermister (refer to Appendix B), the BIOS will load the CPU
temperature automatically. A warning beep sound will be sent out if the user set the
option on. If the CPU is overheated, the user will get the warning. Then you should
shut down computer and check your devices. Or contact you dealer for further help if
CPU temperature persists.
Note: If you would like to enable the function of hardware monitor, to set up
thermister beforehand is necessary. RT2 is the thermister connector.
