NIC-Based Alerts Remote Wakeup Support USING NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS Compaq Deskpro models with integrated or preinstalled network interface controllers (NIC) and network device drivers are network-ready. Select models do not include a NIC. Select NICs feature NIC-based alert support, which allows a system administrator to remotely monitor personal computers over the network. The computer can send hardware and operating system failure alerts over the network before the operating system is loaded or when the computer is powered off. Depending on the NIC model, these alerts may include: s system BIOS hang s operating system hang s processor missing s operating temperature exceeded s chassis intrusion Select NICs feature Remote Wakeup support, which allows the system administrator to turn on power to a client computer from a remote location, through the use of supported PC LAN management tools. CAUTION: If you experience network problems, or problems with starting your computer, check to ensure that the Remote Wakeup cable is connected to the NIC board and to the expansion board cage. If this cable is disconnected, the system will not operate reliably. Remote Wakeup support is available only when using an RJ-45 network connection. For more information on Remote Wakeup, refer to the Intelligent Manageability guide, or to the online Remote Management Administrators Guide. The Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the Remote Management Administration Tools, and is available on the Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products or at the Compaq Web Site at www.compaq.com.
