This function allows you to use the PS/2 key-
board or PS/2 mouse to power-on the sys-

tem.

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must sup-
port

≥720mA.

This function allows you to use a USB key-
board or USB mouse to wake up a system

from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

Important:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for
2 USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power sup-
ply must support

≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the

5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

The RTC installed on the system board allows your
system to automatically power-on on the set date

and time.

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) speci-

ment Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems
that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in
the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to
RAM function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”
when you shut down Windows

without having to go through the

sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operat-
ing system. This is because the system is capable of storing all pro-

(Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session
