DirectKey button
This feature allows your system to go to the BIOS Setup program with the press of a button.

during POST. It also allows you to turn on or turn off your system and conveniently enter the
BIOS during boot-up.
• When the system is on and you press the DirectKey button, your system will shut
down. Press the DirectKey button again or the Power-on button to reboot and enter
the BIOS directly.
• Turn off your system using the power-on button to allow your system to go through
POST (without entering the BIOS) when you reboot your system.
• Refer to section 2.8 Boot Menu for details about setting the DirectKey default
function.

Onboard switches allow you to fine-tune performance when working on a bare or open-
case system. This is ideal for overclockers and gamers who continually change settings to
enhance system performance.
