Remote Power-On Feature (Wake On LAN/PME)
The remote power-on function turns on the server through a network. It sends a special packet from the management
computer to a remote server to turn it on if the server is off-powered.
To enable this feature, you must select "Enabled" for "Wake On LAN/PME" in the Advanced Chipset Control of the
Advanced menu of the BIOS setup utility, "SETUP." (See Chapter 4.)
The remote power-on feature is not available in the following cases. Press the POWER switch once to start the
operating system, and turn off the server in an appropriate procedure.
Abnormal previous system shut-down
No power supply to the server (due to turned-off breaker, disconnected power cord, power blackout, etc.)
NOTE:
Wake On LAN feature is supported in 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T adapter on the
I/O board.
AC-LINK Feature
When the power cord of the server is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) unit, the server supports the
power linkage feature that enables control over the power supply from the UPS to the server. AC-LINK feature can be
enabled or disabled with "AC-LINK" in the Server menu of the BIOS setup utility, "SETUP." (See Chapter 4.)

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full lockable front door and Server
Management software that monitors the system intrusion switches.
Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring
The front door of the server contains a mechanical lock to prevent access to the front of the computer chassis.
The server includes an intrusion switch for the rear access cover. When this cover is opened, the switch transmits an
alarm signal to the system board, where server management software processes the signal.
Software Locks via the System Setup Utility
The BIOS SETUP Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the
system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user enters the correct
password(s). For example:
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and
mouse after a specified time-out period – 2 to 120 minutes.
Set and enable an administrative password.
Set and enable a user password
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset, power and
sleep switches.
Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly.
Disable writing to the floppy disk drive when secure mode is set.
