Configuring WoL on Dell Models 760, 780, 960 and 990

These WoL configuration should work for Dell Models 760, 780, 960 and 990 running Windows 7.

In the BIOS:

In “Power Management” -> “Low Power Mode” – make sure [enable Low Power Mode] is unchecked.
In “Remote Wake Up” – make sure to select either [Enable] or [Enable with Boot to NIC]
In “System Configuration” -> “Integrated NIC” – make sure to check [Enable with PXE]

Then enable WoL start option for Windows 7 Computers. Go to Device Manager -> Network Card Properties

On the Advanced tab, find “Enable PME” – make sure it is set to enable Enabled.

If WoL still not functioning try the following settings:

Device Manager -> Network Card Properties -> “Power Management” tab – make sure “Allow this device to wake the computer” is checked

Upgrading to a current or newer BIOS version from Dell may also resolve the issue.
