Keyboard power on (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 use this unique feature your EPoX motherboard have it set to enable, and use

an ATX power supply rated 0.1a (100mA) or greater for the +5vsb. KBPO is only

available on selected motherboard models.

Modem Ring-IN

On the basis of bounded functions in the I/O chipset, the two onboard serial ports are

able to support external modem ring-in power-on. Using external modems users are

now able to power on the system simply by placing a call to the system remotely.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

USB is a peripheral bus specification developed by the PC and telecom industries —

that brings plug and play of computer peripherals outside the box, eliminating the need

to install cards into dedicated computer slots and reconfigure the system.

Personal computers equipped with USB allow computer peripherals to be automati-

cally configured as soon as they are physically attached - without the need to reboot or

run setup. USB also allows multiple devices to run simultaneously on a computer, with

peripherals such as monitors and keyboards acting as additional plug-in sites, or hubs.
