Wakeup On LAN
The Wakeup On LAN feature allows you to remotely turn on a Managed PC system that is in a sleep state.
The ability to turn on the Managed PC systems remotely allows you to perform remote computer setup,
software downloading and installation, file updates, and asset tracking after hours and on weekends when
users are not using the systems and network traffic is at a minimum.
To use the Wakeup On LAN feature, each Managed PC system must contain a NIC that supports Wakeup
On LAN. You must also enable the Wakeup On LAN
option in the System Setup program.
Auto Power On
Auto Power On enables you to turn on the computer system automatically on certain days of the week at a
preset time. You can set Auto Power On to turn on the system either every day or every Monday through
Friday.
NOTE: This feature does not work if the system is shut off using a power strip or surge protector.

Your system includes temperature probes to sense when the processor becomes overheated. In such a
case, a message appears on the screen when Dell OpenManage is running or at the next system start-up
notifying you of the problem.
