POWER BUTTON
The power button can be programmed by COM setup program and it has different
features. Please refer to page 3-28
for detail function description.
Note: This power button can not be used to power-on the PC system if the
”Password“ is selected to power on your system. (please refer to page 4-10 for the
“INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS“ in the CMOS setup.) However, you can
always use the power button to turn off the power.

KEYBOARD (PASSWORD OR HOT KEY)
It is a nightmare when someone uses your PC system without your permission and
destroys all the valuable data stored in the system. Now the problem can be avoided
by using the PT-6IL mainboard. PT-6IL allows you to enter your personal password
or a combination of hot key to power on your system. When the system power is off,
PT-6IL still keeps 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 ). So the PC
system is secured for you. There are two ways to power-on the PC system by
keyboard, they are “Password” and “Hot KEY”. Please refer to page 4-11 for the
BIOS setting.
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 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 in the BIOS setup again, and then you may use the new
password to power-on the PC system afterward.

PS/2™ MOUSE (MOUSE LEFT OR MOUSE RIGHT BUTTON)
When you are tired of pressing on the power button or keying in the password to turn
on the PC system, there is another extremely convenient way for you.
