Please read the following description for the details.

POWER BUTTON

The power button on the front panel is not only for power-on and power-off the PC
system. It can programmed by COMS setup program and it has different features.
Please refer to Section 3-2 (page 3-13, 3~14) for the detail of function description.
¨ KEYBOARD PASSWORD or HOT KEY (optional)
This mainboard allows you to enter your personal password or a combination of hot
key so that you can use it to power on your system. When the system power is off,
This mainboard has the stand-by 5V voltage active and it will keep scanning the
keyboard status waiting for the correct password or hot key input to turn on the
system power. Without the correct password or hot key, no one else can turn on the
PC system ( neither by the power button ).
There are two ways to power-on the PC system by keyboard, they are "Password"
and "Hot KEY". Please refer to Section 4-8 for the BIOS setup.
When the "Password" and "Hot KEY" is selected, you will have to reboot the PC
system to activate the setting, when you see the POST (Power On Self Test) is
completed, the setting is changed and stored in the CMOS memory. Having finished
the procedure, you may turn the power off and then you can use the keyboard to
power-on the PC system afterward.
In case that you forget the "Password" or "Hot Key", disconnect the AC power for
30-60 seconds then re-connect the AC power to the PC system, the power button
will be activated again and you can use the power button to turn on the system.
Input your personal password again in the BIOS setup program, and then you may
use the new password to power-on the PC system afterward.
