Configuring wake on LAN on the Intel® Modular Server MFSYS25

To configure wake on LAN to wake any compute module in the Intel® Modular Server from S5 state (power off) state, whether the system has lost power or whether it was shut down gracefully from a Windows* operating system, the following settings need to be enabled:

BIOS:

Ensure that the option ROMs for both onboard network controllers are enabled.  These are to be found under PCI configuration in the BIOS of the individual compute modules.

LAN drivers:

The following advanced settings must be changed by right clicking on the properties of the two LAN on motherboard controllers in Windows* Device Manager:

Enable PME - this must be changed from OS controlled (default) to Enabled

Wake on settings - configure the wake on settings to Magic Packet.

To enable wake on LAN from S3 state (standby), ensure Wake on Magic Packet is selected under the Power Management tab of the LAN driver.

Operating System:
Windows Server 2008 *, Windows Server 2003 *

This applies to:
