the WOL cable.

1. Connect either end connector of the WOL Cable to the

NIC WOL Connector. Both ends of the WOL Cable are
identical, so either end may be used.

2. Examine the PC motherboard and/or refer to the

manual for the motherboard to locate the

corresponding WOL Connector on the motherboard.
The actual location is system dependent, but the
motherboard may have a label beside the WOL

Connector. After you have located the WOL connector
on the motherboard, connect the cable.

3. Power-ON the PC and press <Delete> or <F1> when

prompted to enter the PCI/ISA BIOS CMOS Setup.
Enable the WOL function or the power-ON function of

the PC. The name of this function is system
dependent, but may be located in a category heading
titled something like Power Management. Refer to

your computer’s manual for more information
regarding the CMOS Setup Utility and BIOS settings.

NOTE: If your system’s motherboard WOL Connector does not fit the

WOL Cable or does not have 3 pins, do not attempt to force a
connection or alter the components to fit. Doing so could
permanently damage your computer.
