28 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE NIC
Connecting the Remote Wake-Up Cable
This section describes how to connect the Remote Wake-Up 
cable from the NIC to the PC motherboard. 
Connecting the Remote Wake-Up cable is optional. 
Connect this cable only if your NIC supports 
Remote Wake-Up and you want to use this feature. 
The following NICs support Remote Wake-Up:
■ 3C905C-TX-M
■ 3C905B-TX
■ 3C905B-TX-M
■ 3C905B-COMBO
■ 3C905B-FX
■ 3C900B-FL
To connect the Remote Wake-Up cable:
1 Make sure that the NIC is properly installed in a PCI slot. 
2 Insert the Remote Wake-Up cable into the 
RWU connector on the NIC.
Twist the cable twice before attaching the cable to the PC.
3 Attach the other end of the cable to the connector on 
the PC motherboard.
Refer to your PC documentation if you need help locating 
the connector.
If you have a 3C905C-TX-M NIC and your PC is compliant 
with PCI 2.2, Remote Wake-Up is automatically enabled 
through the PCI bus. You do not need to connect the 
Remote Wake-Up cable. 
WARNING: Make sure that the PC power cord is 
unplugged. Only properly trained and authorized 
personnel should perform service. Contact your PC 
manufacturer for information about safe service 
techniques.
