Reset button to start PC?

[swzeng]

Hi I have Asus Sabertooth Z79 board and was wondering if the reset button can be programmed to start pc when its shut down. PC is located in my basement where I run all cables direct from to my office upstairs. Originally when I first built this I extended the reset button from the basement but not the power switch since I can use my P/S 2 keyboard to start. I am switching to a usb keyboard (razor black) and no longer can use this function. I know there is wake on lan option, but for some reason I having trouble with this even after bios and internet adapter setting in windows updates. Anyway, I just want to know if there is a setting the bios where I can make the reset button to start pc from shut down mode.

Thanks

The BIOS on the Asus Sabertooth Z97 has the option to wake from Keyboard input. It should work regardless of PS/2 or USB. I've had it work on my Maximus III Formula. In essence you should be able to do what you're intending to do with a power button. I would however ask you to rethink the strategy with length. In this instance a KVM switch might be a better option.

So I went into the bios, I dont see any option for keyboard boot up. Tried multiples times and it wont work, see below image link. Is there any other settings in bios? Thanks

Judging by those BIOS options it's true, no startup by KB or Mouse. Maybe something like this would help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4cnU0EusSM

I doubt they would change BIOS in that way but you could check your version and available versions here: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X79/HelpDesk_BIOS/
