First it needs to be enabled in the bios.

then you need a nic card with wake on lan capablities and install the proper drivers and configure the nic in the power mgt properties to allow this device to bring this computer out of standby.

then u need a utility to send wake up packets, i like ccgetmacaddress but im sure there are others
