# Remote Wake-Up

## Other Operating Systems

In operating systems that do not support remote wake-up technology, you can still use the Magic Packet method to power-up a computer remotely. When the computer is first powered on, the Intel® Boot Agent configuration utility can be invoked when the Boot Agent prompt appears on the screen. The configuration program has a parameter setting titled Legacy OS Wakeup Support. If this setting is enabled, the Boot Agent will pre-condition the adapter to respond to a Magic Packet wake up event. This allows remote wake-up in operating systems that do not support it. In early versions of the PRO/100+ Management adapter, this setting will not appear and is not needed.
