ASRock Z370 Taichi WOL settings

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Setup this older motherboard up as a headless storage device on my LAN. Reset BIOS and installed Win10Pro. Using WakeMeOnLAN from a remote PC, confirmed connection to LAN but unable to start. I've been successful setting this up on other boards but this one took a bit more work. Below are my settings which work. Keep in mind, WOL here doesn't work from a cold start. You have to power up and shutdown the PC once. You can confirm everything is ready for WOL when the red LED on the motherboard is lit and the activity light on the ethernet jack is flashing, while otherwise the PC appears to be off. Hope this is helpful if you are having a bit of trouble with this feature.
