This jumper is used to enable or disable Keyboard/Mouse Wake Up function. If you select Enable,
you can decide the wake up mode from BIOS Setup > Integrated Peripherals > Power On Function.
To implement this function, the power supply 5V standby current must be greater than 800mA. Note
that only PS/2 mouse supports Wake on Mouse function.
Disable Enable
Tip: You have to wait for system to
successfully boot from operation system
(such as Windows or DOS) before the
Wake-On-Keyboard/Mouse can take effect.
This is because the information of how to
support this function must be stored into
Super I/O Controller and then you can use it
for next power on.
