Important: When using the Power-On by Keyboard function, please make sure the
ATX power supply can take at least take 720mA load on the 5V standby lead (5VSB) to
meet the standard ATX specification. Apart from the jumper setting, you have to enter
the CMOS setup and set the “Power-On by Keyboard”item in the SOYO COMBO
