Despite enabling "Any key" under "Power On By Keyboard" in BIOS, nothing happens when I press a key on my wired USB keyboard. Now, the manual does say "Allows the system to be turned on by a PS/2 keyboard wake-up event."

Is it really the case that I need a PS/2 keyboard to power on the computer, or am I stupid to question the manual?

The motherboard is Gigabyte Z77-D3H (and I don't have a PS/2 keyboard).
