IBM PC300PL - New combined IBM Wake-On-LAN cable
Applicable to: World-Wide
This notice is in regards to the following IBM Wake-On-LAN adapters:
Auto Wake 16\4 ISA Token Ring
PCI 16\4 Token Ring with Wake-On-LAN
Etherjet ISA with Wake-On-LAN
Etherjet PCI 100\10 with Wake-On-LAN
Starting in August 1997, the IBM PC Company will begin to ship new models of Wake On LAN capable systems. Customers intending to use the Wake On LAN feature of these new systems with either of these Wake On LAN capable IBM Token-Ring adapters will require the use of a new combined Wake On LAN signal and power cable, IBM part number P/N76H7254.
If you have successfully connected the Wake On LAN cable shipped with your adapter as described in the product's documentation, then you do not need the combined Wake On LAN cable.
The combined Wake on LAN cable is required only for IBM PCs that are scheduled to ship in the third quarter of 1997, in which the customer will want to use the IBM PCI Wake On LAN Token-Ring adapter or the IBM Auto Wake 16/4 Token-Ring ISA adapter and its Wake on LAN function. These new IBM PCs will have a different type of connector for the Wake on LAN cable's connection to the PC. The adapter side of the connection will be the same.
How to Get the New Cable
Future shipments of these adapters will include the combined Wake on LAN cable in addition to the original Wake On LAN Cable. These will begin shipping in the same time frame as the new IBM PCs that require the combined cable begin shipping.
If you require the combined Wake On LAN cable, call IBM Product Support at 1-800-426-7299 (in the USA) or any one of the other support numbers listed in the documentation shipped with the adapter. Tell the calltaker that you wish to be sent the combined Wake on LAN signal and power cable, IBM part number 76H7254, for use with either the IBM PCI Wake On LAN Token-Ring adapter or the IBM Auto Wake 16/4 Token-Ring ISA adapter. Be sure to provide your name, your company's name, your shipping address, your telephone number, and the quantity of cables required to the calltaker. The calltaker will escalate your request to the Level3 Product Support Organization in the Networking Hardware Division who will ship the cables to you.
