LAN-related.
The bulleted list given below gives guidelines on how to configure a
LAN interface. The field names used in your version of the Setup
program may be slightly different to those shown below.
If you want to boot from the network:
• Check that Security ➜ Boot Devices Security ➜ Start from Network is enabled.
• Change the boot order so that Network appears first ( Advanced ➜
Advanced CMOS Setup ➜ 1st Boot Device ‹ Network ).
NOTE You can only boot a PC from the network if it has boot ROM integrated
in its BIOS (as with the HP Vectra VL Series 8 PC for example) or if it
contains an NIC with an embedded boot ROM chip.
On other platforms such as the HP Vectra VL Series 7, VE Series 7 or
Series 8 PCs, a boot ROM chip is needed in order to boot from the
network. This component can be ordered from 3Com.
If you want to wake up your PC from the network:
• Check that the PC can be woken up from the network ( Power ➜
Suspend Wakeup ➜ Network [ Enabled ]).
If you want to power on your PC from the network:
• Check that the PC can be powered on from the network ( Power ➜
Power-On ➜ Network [ Enabled ]).
