Veriton 6000Pro WOL and sleep/standby

lshannon1941

I have a Veriton 6900 Pro that is powerful enough to use as a RAID server. It has to have Wake-On-Lan (WOL) capability. The on-board NIC has all the right options, but to test it I have to put the computer to sleep (standby).

 

OS - Win XP Pro SP3, current as of the end-of-life date, fresh install. Bios latest version (A04).

 

When I try to sleep the computer, the only options I get are Turn Off and Restart. Standby is greyed out. Never ran into this before.

 

Questions: Does the machine support WOL with 'magic packets'? Is there something I'm missing in the setup to enable the machine to go into standby? Does that Intel bios extension (or whatever it is) have anything to do with this? If so, how do I use it and what should I be looking for?

 

Thanks all.

Well, I got into the Management Engine (was still the default password) and played around a bit, but nothing seemed to be pertinent or helpful.

 

The explanations for this stuff is as obscure as you can get.

 

Anyhow - still looking for a simpe solution to my simple problem.
