Multiple NIC Installations and Remote Wake-Up
To use multiple NICs as Remote Wake-Up NICs in the same
PC, the PC must have a power supply that can support
multiple Remote Wake-Up devices.
See your PC documentation if you are unsure whether your
PC power supply can accommodate more than one
Remote Wake-Up device.
Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) Software
The Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) software adds
management capabilities to the NIC by enabling the PC
to boot from the server, rather than from its local drive.
This preboot support allows you to use management
applications to remotely:
■ Install and configure a new PC that has never been
connected to the network.
■ Upgrade software.
