2.2 AMAZING WAYS TO POWER ON THE PC SYSTEM
Basically, you can connect either AT or ATX power supply to this mainboard. When
the ATX power supply is connected, there are many ways to power on the system.
Please read the following description for the details.
POWER BUTTON
The power button on the front panel is not only for power-on and power-off the PC
system. It can programmed by COMS setup program and it has different features.
Please refer to Section 3-2 (page 3-13, 3~14) for the detail of function description.
¨ KEYBOARD PASSWORD or HOT KEY (optional)
This mainboard allows you to enter your personal password or a combination of hot
key so that you can use it to power on your system. When the system power is off,
This mainboard has the stand-by 5V voltage active and it will keep scanning the
keyboard status waiting for the correct password or hot key input to turn on the
system power. Without the correct password or hot key, no one else can turn on the
PC system ( neither by the power button ).
There are two ways to power-on the PC system by keyboard, they are “Password”
and “Hot KEY”. Please refer to Section 4-8 for the BIOS setup.
When the “Password” and “Hot KEY” is selected, you will have to reboot the PC
system to activate the setting, when you see the POST (Power On Self Test) is
completed, the setting is changed and stored in the CMOS memory. Having finished
the procedure, you may turn the power off and then you can use the keyboard to
power-on the PC system afterward.
In case that you forget the “Password” or “Hot Key”, disconnect the AC power for
30-60 seconds then re-connect the AC power to the PC system, the power button
will be activated again and you can use the power button to turn on the system.
Input your personal password again in the BIOS setup program, and then you may
use the new password to power-on the PC system afterward.

¨ PS/2™ MOUSE KEY CLICK (optional)
When you have a PS/2™ mouse connected to the system, you may change the setup
in the BIOS and use the mouse click to turn on the PC system power. Please refer to
section 4-7 for the BIOS setting.
To use the mouse key to turn on the PC system power, the mouse click must be done
quickly and continually. Basically, 2-5 quick clicks on the mouse key ( left key or
right key ) will turn the power immediately.
In order to activate the mouse key feature, you will have to reboot the PC system
after the BIOS setting and wait until the POST (Power On Self Test) is completed.
Having finished the procedure, you may use the mouse key to power-on the PC
system afterward..
Note: This feature is not available on the COM (serial) port mouse.
¨ RTC ALARM
PC system can be waked up by the RTC setting in the CMOS. You can set the
alarming date and time in the RTC memory, When RTC alarms, the PC system will
be triggered and wakes up automatically.
Enable the “Resume by Alarm” selection in the BIOS setup utility, and then input
the accurate date and time in following fields. (the “Resume by Alarm” is located in
the “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4-7), Having
stored the RTC alarm setting, the PC system will be turned on automatically
according to the date and time which is recorded in the CMOS memory.
When you have finished the BIOS setting, you have to reboot the PC system and
wait for the POST (Power On Self Test) is completed to enable the RTC alarm.

¨ MODEM RING-IN
This mainboard can be triggered by a modem ring-in signal. When you have a
external modem installed, you can use it to power on the PC system. When there is
the incoming message from te external modem, the PC system will be triggered by
the ring-in signal and wake up automatically to receive the message for you.
In order to use the ring-in signal to wake up your PC system, you will have to use
the EXTERNAL MODEM and have it connected to one of the Serial Ports (COM1
or COM2). When the system power is off, this mainboard will continue to detect the
serial port status. When it detects the ring-in signal from the serial port, the system
power will be turned on and start to receive the incoming messages automatically.
To enable the Modem Ring-In feature, you have to run the BIOS setup utility and
enable the “Resume by Ring or LAN” option (it is in the “POWER
MANAGEMENT SETUP”, please refer to Section 4-7 for the settings). Having
completed the BIOS setup, you have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can
verify the setting. (the “DMI pool data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading
the operating system). Simply speaking, shut down the PC system and then re-start
the system. The modem ring-in feature will be enabled when the operation system
has been loaded.
Note: This function is not available when using the internal MODEM card.
¨ WAKE ON LAN ( WOL )
There is a WOL connector CN14 (see Section 3-2) on the mainboard which is
designed to connect to the signal from a LAN card which supports the Wake On
LAN feature. When such LAN card is installed, you may turn on the PC system
from your remote server and monitor the PC status.
To enable this feature, you will have to use the BIOS setup utility to enable the
“Resume by Ring or LAN” (it is located at “POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP”,
please refer to Section 4-7 for the settings). Having completed the BIOS setup, you
have to reboot the PC system so that BIOS can verify the setting. ( the “DMI pool
data” will be verified by the BIOS when loading the operating system). Simply
speaking, reboot the PC system, the Wake On LAN feature will be enabled when the
operation system has been loaded
