Power-on Select

JP8 is used to select the method of powering on the system. If you want the 
system to power-on whenever AC power comes in, set JP8 pins 2 and 3 to On. If 
you want to use the power button, set pins 1 and 2 to On.

When using the JP8 “Power On” feature to power the system back on after a 
power failure occurs, the system may not power on if the power lost is resumed 
within 5 seconds (power 

fl

 icker). 

Note: 

In order to ensure that power is resumed after a power failure that re-
covers within a 5 second period, JP8 must be set to pins 2-3 and the 
“AC Power Lose” in CMOS is set to “On”.

1-2 On: 

Power-on via power button

(default)  

2-3 On: 

Power-on via AC power
