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

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.
