It will probably support it from a usb receiver as well because it has the usb charge option which is what keeps the usb port powered on after the system has shutdown.
That is good to hear, what range are you getting with the remote? Also are you using a harmony with it?

Thanks bluray, do you know if the remote/IR I linked is USB keyboard emulator receiver?

Thanks.
As I just need the IR receiver (Got a harmony remote) I'm leaning towards this actually http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-IR-Wireless-MCE-USB-Infrared-Receiver-VISTA-MCE2005-/320730531033?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aad0784d9
It is cheap and should do exactly what I'm after.

Any idea how to get wake from S5 with an Asrock mobo working from USB device? ( I have the Z68-ITX HT)
I could not get the supplied USB receiver to work because it was dead on arrival - how exactly can i start the pc from cold boot with a USB keyboard?

Not sure about that particular MoBo model, but you need an extended USB keyboard with a dedicated "power" key.

I'm not sure that's totally correct, as I stated above, my old (circa 2003?) ASRock Opteron ATX board had "wake from USB keyboard", and I only had to press the space bar to boot the machine.
At least I'm pretty sure it was an ASRock. I'll check my emails now
EDIT:
not it was actually an Asus A8N-SLI. So it's not just ASrock that has this feature!!

Wrongo I'm afraid. My H67M-ITX has CIR and does not have this feature at all in the BIOS because ASRock apparently never implemented it.
- eskro - 2011-12-01
that sucks :/
- lrusak - 2011-12-01
I'm using the Flirc receiver and a Harmony remote (although any remote works) and can successfully put my machine to sleep and wake it up.
I'm using Openelec as a dedicated platform.

You just don't have the option to use external IR with the USB in the back.

your right blu
but i think voip-ninja knew that already
- bluray - 2011-12-02
eskro Wrote:your right bluThe CIR option for the front USB is different from the bios option for USB IR option in the rear. I believe that the mobo with bios option can use both options
but i think voip-ninja knew that already
