Wake-On-PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse

1Introduction

This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to wake up the system from the S5 state. Refer to “Jumper Settings for Selecting the PS/2 Power” in chapter 2 and “PS2KB Wakeup Select” (“IRQ/Event Activity Detect” field) in the Power Management section in chapter 3 for more information.

Important:

•If you forgot the password, you must power-off the system, unplug the power cord and clear the CMOS data. Follow the steps in the “Jumper Settings for Clearing CMOS Data” section in chapter 2.

•The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse

This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state. Refer to “USB Resume from S3” (“IRQ/Event Activity Detect” field) in the Power Management Setup section in chapter 3 for more information.

Important:

•If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A.

•If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 3 or more USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.

RTC Timer to Power-on the System

The RTC installed on the mainboard allows your system to auto- matically power-on on the set date and time. Refer to “Resume On Alarm” (“IRQ/Event Activity Detect” field) in the Power Management Setup section in chapter 3 for more information.
