When the Wake on LAN feature is used with network-management software, many functions, such as data transfers, software updates, and POST or BIOS code updates can be performed on many computers simultaneously. Note: The Wake on LAN feature works only if the computer was correctly shut down and turned off. v Remote Administration A network administrator can use the Remote Administration feature to remotely update the POST and BIOS code in the computer. Network-management software, such as Remote Deployment Manager (RDM), is required to take advantage of this feature. v Remote Deployment Manager Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) is a graphical, server-based program that performs mass unattended installations of operating systems, software, device drivers, and BIOS code updates to remote systems. When RDM is used with the Wake on LAN feature, it can remotely turn on the computer so that installations can be done while the computer is not being used.
