3. Keyboard power (3-pin KBPWR)

This jumper allows you to enable or disable the keyboard wake-up

feature. Set this jumper to pins 2-3 (+5VSB) if you wish to wake up

the computer when you press a key on the keyboard (the default

value is [Disabled]). This feature requires an ATX power supply that

can supply at least 1A on the +5VSB lead, and a corresponding

setting in the BIOS (see section 2.5.5 APM Configuration).
