POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT

The AT2700/2450 (NIC) supports both Advanced Power
Management (APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) environments.

WAKE-ON-LAN (Remote System Wakeup)

The AT2700/2450 provides Wake-On-LAN capability using AMD's
Magic Packet(tm) technology. Magic Packet(tm) technology is
used to remotely wake up a sleeping or powered off PC on a
network. This is accomplished by sending a specific packet
of information, called a Magic Packet frame, to a node on
the network. When a PC capable of receiving the specific
frame goes to sleep, it will enable the Magic Packet mode in
the NIC, and when the LAN controller receives a Magic
Packet frame, the NIC will alert the system to wake up.
A Magic Packet frame is simply a standard ethernet frame
containing the MAC address of the NIC in the system to be
awakened repeated 16 times.

APM and ACPI environments use different methods to respond
to a remote wake-up command. In an APM power-management
environment remote system wake-up is accomplished through
the system's APM-compliant BIOS and the NIC hardware.
When the NIC receives a Magic Packet(tm) containing its MAC
address it asserts the WAKEUP signal through the external
Wake-on-LAN cable to the system board. APM power control
logic then turns the system on and intitiates the boot
sequence. After the boot sequence the APM-compliant BIOS
clears the PME- signal, which resets the WAKEUP signal so
that subsequent wakeup events will be detected.

In an ACPI environment remote system wake up is implemented
through the combination of an ACPI-compliant OS such as
Windows NT 5.0, hardware that is compliant with the PCI
power management specification and the AT2700 hardware.
When the NIC receives a Magic Packet(tm) containing its MAC
address it asserts the PME- signal on the PCI bus. The
system board detects the PME- signal and alerts the ACPI
hardware and OS to initiate its wakeup sequence. Note that
the WAKEUP signal is also asserted but not required in the
ACPI environment.

To enable Wake-On-LAN:

1. Install the NIC in an available PCI expansion slot.
2. Connect the WOL cable to the WOL connector on the NIC.
3. Locate the WOL connector on your system board.
4. Connect the other end of The WOL connector to your system
   board WOL connector.
5. Ensure that the connectors are fully seated.
6. Check your system BIOS settings to ensure Power
   Management and Wake on LAN features are enabled and set
   correctly.

NOTE: On Intel motherboards both the PME (Power Management
 Event) and Wake on LAN BIOS options must be enabled.
