How to enable WOL on a Supermicro X10SLM-F

[tmacka88]

Hi,

So recently I upgraded my system for ECC support from advice of this forum.

Now I am trying to enable WOL on my new motherboard. Reading the Manual for the MB it states that there is a WOL jumper on the MB JSTBY1. It has 3 pins but I'm not sure which ones I need to enable to get it to work. currently there is no jumper on it ATM. So I am assuming this is why it's not working.

just not sure if I put it on the wrong one if It would do something bad. probably not but just to make sure.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but super micro support are taking forever.

cheers

Do not connect a jumper to JSTBY1. JSTBY1 is a connector, not a jumper block. Older network cards need to be connected to the MB via a 3 pin cable for WOL to work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Hardware_implementations). Pin 1 is +5V, pin 2 is ground, short those two and you will probably need a new board.
I'm not sure if the onboard LAN controllers support WOL. If they do, then I'd expect there would be some setting in the BIOS. I use IPMI to power on/off my server.

yeah thought it was a connector. Hmm you would think for a new man it would support WOL. I'll take a better look in the BIOS. yeah ipmi is good for that but I new WOL as well.

any idea what the setting would be called in the bios. in my experience it's not just called WOL.
