DirectKey button
This feature allows your system to go to the BIOS Setup program with the press of

a button. With DirectKey, you can enter the BIOS anytime without having to press

the key during POST. It also allows you to turn on or turn off your system and

conveniently enter the BIOS during boot-up.

When the system is on and you press the DirectKey button, your system will shut

down. Press the DirectKey button again or the Power-on button to reboot and enter

the BIOS directly.

Turn off your system using the power-on button to allow your system to go through

POST (without entering the BIOS) when you reboot your system.

Refer to section 3.8 Boot Menu for details about setting the DirectKey default

function.
