Depending on the CPU that is used in your PNA-X, you may be able to start your PNA-X at a specified time every day. This feature allows the PNA-X to be shut down at night (saving energy), then wake the PNA-X at a specified time to allow sufficient warm-up time in the morning before being used.
To use this feature, the PNA-X must have a 2000 MHz CPU board. See how to determine the CPU board.
Connect a USB keyboard to the PNA-X.
Restart the PNA-X.
During power-up, press F2 on the keyboard at the moment it indicates to do so on the bottom of the PNA-X screen.
In the BIOS, go to Configuration then Power Control Configuration. Set Resume On Time: to ON, and set the Resume Time: to the desired wake-up time.
Press F10 to Save, Exit, and restart the PNA-X.
At the end of the day, Shut Down (not hibernate or standby) the PNA-X.
The PNA-X will wake-up at the specified time.
Note: A utility can also be set to provide a WOL call. This is outside the scope of PNA Help. Search the internet for WOL utility.
Follow the above procedure for accessing the BIOS.
Then, in the BIOS:
For newer i7 and Celeron CPUs:
Go to Chipset menu, then South Bridge, then SB PCH Options.
Under the PCH LAN Controller, set WOL to Enabled.
Press F10 to Save, Exit.
For all older CPUs:
Go to Configuration then LAN Configuration. Ensure that Power Saving when S5 to Disabled (default setting).
Go to Configuration then Power Control Configuration. Set PME Wake From S5 to Enabled.
Press F10 to Save, Exit.
To must also do the following on the PNA:
From the PNA desktop, right-click My Computer, then Management.
In the left pane, under System Tools, click Device Manager.
in the right pane, click + in front of Network Adapters.
