Keyboard Power On Function (KBPO)
External Modem Ring-in Power On
On the basis of the bounded functions of the I/O chipset, the two serial ports are able
to support the External Modem Ring-in Power On Function. Once users connect an
external modem to COM1 or COM2, the EP-BXBS mainboard allows the user to
turn on their system by remote using dial-up software on another computer. Please
refer to the BIOS Power Management Setup section for configuration instructions
(page 4-15).
Keyboard Power On Function (KBPO)
The Keyboard Power-On (KBPO) function allows users to turn on a PC by easily
touching the keyboard instead of bending down to look for the power button under a
table. To enable this feature please follow the steps below.
Step 1:When power to the system off set JP13 to the 1-2 position.
Step 2:Push the momentary switch to turn on the system and then push again (hold
for 4 seconds) to turn the system off.
Step 3:Keyboard power on is now enabled. You can enjoy KBPO by pressing any
1 key, Hot key (Ctrl-F1, F2...F12), or entering a password (maximum of 5
characters) to turn on the system. The BIOS default is a hot key of <Ctrl>-<F1> to
turn on the system. Your system will turn on automatically after releasing the keys.
To power off the system you can use the soft-off function under Windows 95/98 or
use the momentary switch.
Notes: Intel ATX version 2.0 specification recommends the use of a power supply
with 0.72A (720mA) in the +5.0vsb. With our EP-BXBS mainboard, the 5.0vsb
(standby) power has to be >= 0.1A (100mA) to enjoy this unique benefit. However,
ATX power supplies with less than 0.1A can still be used in the system but KBPO
must be disabled.
