Hello A-D-M,

Never tried it before but I believe you have to use a Wake On LAN cable to connect the network card to a WOL header on your motherboard. Then you have to enable Wake On LAN in both the BIOS as well as the driver in Windows.

If you have done all that, your system SHOULD boot up when a Magic Packet (I think) is sent to it.

Hello A-D-M,

Your network card will come with a small thin cable. That's your WOL (Wake On LAN) cable. You have to connect it to the WOL header on your motherboard. For the exact location of this header, you have to consult your motherboard manual.

Then you have to enable Wake On LAN in the BIOS. I think you also have to activate this feature in the driver properties of your network card in Windows.
