2.6.12 WOL (Wake on LAN) Connector
To use Wake On LAN function, you must have a Ethernet card with chipset that supports this
feature, and connect a cable from LAN card to motherboard WOL connector. The system
identification information (probably IP address) is stored on network card and because there is a lot
of traffic on the Ethernet, you need to install network management software, such as ADM, for the
checking of how to wake up the system. Note that, at least 600mA ATX standby current is required
to support the LAN card for th i s function.
