Real Time Clock Wake-Up Alarm
Although the PC may be perceived to be off when not in use, it is still
capable of responding to preset wake-up events. In the BIOS, the user can
set a timer to wake-up the system at a predetermined time (see page 5-15).
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a
system suspend button. When the user depresses on the power button,
the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and
the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button again will
cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the ATX
power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system
alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power,
just depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn
off and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
External Modem Ring-On
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem
ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem
ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power
supply.
1-6 Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to re-
motely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-
dates and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that
daily LAN traffic is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted.
The motherboards have a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin
header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Note
that Wake-On-Lan can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant
power supply.
