is motherboard supports Wake from on Board LAN. To use this function, please make

sure that the “Wake on Magic Packet from power o state” is enabled in Device Manager

> Intel® Ethernet Connection > Power Management. And the “PCI Devices Power On” is

enabled in UEFI SETUP UTILITY > Advanced > ACPI Conguration. Aer that, onboard

LAN1&2 can wake up S5 under OS.

If you install Intel® LAN utility or Marvell SATA utility, this motherboard may fail Win-

dows® Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) certication tests. If you install the drivers only, it

will pass the WHQL tests.
