8kta3 pro Keyboard Power On

Hi All,

Only a quick question regarding the supposed 'keyboard power on' feature of
the above 8kta3 pro board.
I've enabled the correct JP2 jumper to the 2-3 position, but still can't get
the system to wake from a soft power off using the keyboard.

Anyone else ever got this working?

Cheers!

Sam W.

Hi Sam

On the 8RDA+, the BIOS has an entry for Power On Function which has
to be set to Hot Key, then the other entry for Hot Key Power On defaults
to
Ctrl+F1. Use the normal Start menu Shut down and when it has all
finished,
(the kbd Num Lck light may still be on as a reminder), press the Hotkey
to start. On my mbd, it won't work if any other shut down method has been
used, e.g. the front power switch button.

There is no mention of the keyboard power on function in the bios.

The manual mentions it thus:
Step 1
Please check JP4 at the position 2-3 after you finished the system
installation.
Step 2
You can enjoy the keyboard power on function (KBPO) by pressing and key and
BUTTON only to turn on your system. Your system will be turned on
automatically, after releasing the keys.

Has anyone on this newsgroup got it working on the same board as me?

Hey Sam.

I got a 8kta3+ board, nearly the same as 8kta3pro.
The problem depends on the keyboard itself. I have an older wired
keyboard, and when i use this, the keyboard power on function works,
but when I use my wireless logitech keyboard, it doesn't work. I
haven't found anyone, who could give me an explannation yet.
BTW, there is a option in the bios, where you should enable keyboard
power on.

Regards from Denmark

Thanks Kim, finally got it working right. Just had to enable keyboard power
on in the bios, it was under power management.
