I. Hardware settings

1. Hardware requirements of the controlled machine

To enable network boot, you need to support the motherboard, network card, and power supply. First, check the motherboard User Manual to see if the motherboard supports wake-up on internal modem (WOM) or wake-up on LAN (Wol) technology. If yes, the motherboard supports remote boot. Remote Wake-up is possible. One of the most important components is the network card that supports Wol. The network card of the Remote Wake-up computer must support Wol, and the network card used to wake up other computers does not have to support Wol. In addition, when a computer is installed with multiple NICs, you only need to set one of them as Remote Wake-Up.

In addition, the computer must be installed with ATX power supplies conforming to the ATX 2.03 standard, and the + 5vstandby current should be at least 720mA. Some early power supplies may only be designed to reach 500mA. Some NICs with high power consumption may fail to be started during network startup.

2. CMOS settings

First, you need to set the CMOs and nic, start the computer, and enter the CMOS parameter settings. Select the "power management setup" menu for the power management settings, and set "wake up on LAN" and "Wake on PCI Card" to "enable ", enable the remote Wakeup function of the computer. Some NICs need to use the jumper to set the "Wake-on-Lan" function to "enable ".

Insert the two ends of the wol cable into the 3-core socket of the nic and the motherboard respectively, and connect the NIC with the computer motherboard. If the motherboard supports the PCI 2.2 standard, you only need to enable the "Wake on PCI Card" function, and do not need to use the wol cable connection. Start the computer, install the NIC driver, and complete network connection settings for the NIC.

3. Obtain the MAC address of the controller Nic

In Windows 9x, click Start> Run and enter the "winipcfg" command. In the "IP configuration" window, select "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter" from the drop-down list. The text displayed in the "adapter address" column is the MAC address of the NIC.

In Windows 2000, click the "Start> Run" command, enter the "cmd" command in the "run" dialog box, and click "OK" to open the command prompt. Enter the "ipconfig/all" command under C:/> and the physical address displayed is the MAC address.

Write down this address. Disable the computer.

Ii. Remote Boot

After completing the above work, run netwaker on the master computer, enter the MAC address of the master computer in the corresponding column, and click the boot button to see that the host is starting!
