Power Management Support

The AT-2700TX supports both Advanced Power Management
(APM) and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI) environments. 

WAKE-ON-LAN (Remote System Wakeup)

The AT-2700TX 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 AT-2700TX, and when the LAN controller
receives a Magic Packet frame, the AT-2700TX 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 AT-2700TX hardware.
When the AT-2700TX 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 AT-2700TX hardware.
When the AT-2700TX 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 AT-2700TX in an available PCI expansion slot.
2. Connect the WOL cable to the WOL connector on the
   AT-2700TX.
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.
