Beelink Mini PC Auto Power On Configuration Guide

Method 1: BIOS Configuration

1. Turn on the machine and enter the BIOS by repeatedly pressing the "Delete" button. The system will display the Aptio Setup Utility. This utility provides access to system settings, including BIOS Information, CPU Information, and Memory Information. Navigation keys are typically shown at the bottom: ↑↓ to select items, Enter to select, +/- to change options, F1 for help, F2 for previous values, F3 for optimized defaults, F4 for Save & Exit, and ESC to exit.

2. Navigate to the "Chipset" menu. Within the Chipset settings, select "South Cluster Configuration".

3. Locate the "Restore AC Power Loss" option. This setting determines the system's behavior after a power interruption. Change this setting from its default ([Power Off]) to "Power On". The "Power On" option means the system will boot directly as soon as power is applied. Other options include "Power Off" (system remains off until the power button is pressed) and "Last State" (system returns to its previous state before power loss).

4. Press the F4 key to save the current BIOS settings and exit the utility. The system will then shut down.

After completing these steps, unplug and replug the power supply to test if the automatic power-on function is successfully enabled.

Method 2: Hardware Jumper Configuration

1. To access the hardware settings, first remove the screws securing the bottom case of the Mini PC and open it. On the motherboard, locate the word mark "AT_ATX".

   [Description of motherboard: The motherboard shows various ports like HDMI, SATA, and USB, along with RAM slots and the main processor area. The "AT_ATX" marking is visible on the board.]

2. Identify a jumper block labeled "PWR SW2". The "auto power on" function is typically in the off status when the jumper cap is positioned on the pins indicated by a white arrow in the original diagram.

   [Description of jumper: A jumper block labeled "PWR SW2" is present on the motherboard. A small plastic cap is fitted onto two pins, signifying the default, non-active state for auto power-on.]

3. To enable the "auto power on" function, move the jumper cap from its current position to the adjacent set of pins. This action configures the hardware to automatically power on the system when power is supplied.

   [Description of jumper moved: The jumper cap has been repositioned to cover a different pair of pins on the "PWR SW2" block, activating the auto power-on feature.]
