LAN Function
The system supports LAN connection by integrating a 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet controller and an RJ45 network
port.
The system uses a Switching Power Supply which provides a 5V/1A standby power via the onboard connector JP9
(see Figure 2-2 for the location of the connectors). The onboard LAN relies on this standby power for its
operation. Once it receives a “magic packet”

, the system automatically wakes up. These magic packets are sent
via management software that supports remote wake-up capability.

Hardware Monitoring Function
The Hardware Monitoring function allows you to check the system resources, either locally or in a computer
network, by using software such as Intel LDCM (LANDesk Client Manager). Intel LDCM is a desktop
management program that offers the SMART (System Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) monitor
function for checking local or network connected systems. In addition, it also enables the PC products and
applications to be OS (operating system) independent.
To enable the Hardware Monitoring function, you need to install Intel LDCM. Refer to the software documentation
for more details on the Hardware Monitoring function.
1
Magic packet is defined as a 16 bit "0000000011111111" NIC card Mac address. This packet
passes through the Ethernet wire. Once received by the LAN chip and an identical MAC address has
been detected, the LAN chip will start the WOL process.
