Setting management features

To enable the network administrator to control your computer remotely, you must configure the network
interface by setting the system-management features in the ThinkPad Setup program. You can configure
the following functions in the program:

• Wake on LAN

• Network Boot sequence

If an administrator password (supervisor password) has been set, you will need to specify it when you start
ThinkPad Setup to use these functions.

Wake on LAN

When the Wake on LAN feature is enabled on a computer that is connected to a LAN, a network administrator
can start the computer remotely from a management console, using remote network-management software.

When your computer is not under the network administrator's system management, you can disable Wake
on LAN.

To enable or disable Wake on LAN, do the following:

1. Start ThinkPad Setup.

2. Select Config. The Config submenu is displayed.

3. Select Network. The Network submenu is displayed.

4. For Wake On LAN, select one of the following: AC Only, AC and Battery, or Disabled.

5. Press F10 to save changes and exit.

Network Boot sequence

When your computer is turned on remotely, the system will try to boot from the device that is specified in the
Network Boot setting, and then follow the boot order list on the Boot menu.

To define a sequence, do the following:

1. On the ThinkPad Setup program menu, select Startup. The submenu is displayed.

2. Select Network Boot and press the Enter key. The boot device list is displayed.

3. Select a boot device from the list to make it as the top boot priority.

4. Press F10 to save changes and exit.

Note: If you want to initialize the setting to return to the default startup sequence, press F9. The default
settings are automatically reloaded.
