Beelink T5 - BIOS settings to power off USB ports when PC is off

DavidXSD

When I turn off the T5, the USB ports still have 5V present. What BIOS settings will make the USB ports power off when the Mini PC is off? I do not want any USB devices to be powered when the PC is off. Thank you.

I don’t want either, but they always say it is because wake on lan and it will not be changed. I even have a setting in BIOS for SER8, but it doesn’t work at all.

My drives, all 3, go to sleep when I sleep the Mini 12. Drive lights are off and on powered hub. I use mine as a media server, if usb powered turned off then my wireless USB RF keyboard would be useless to power on PC from da couch! My BT mouse is dead until PC turned back on.

I can only suggest using using a 4 port or more USB hub with the on/off buttons on a desktop environment?

MiniDog that is one way of usage, but there are other ways. If this can be toggled in the BIOS, all of us would be satisfied. I don’t want devices to be powered while the minipc is shut off.

carlosmeldano Of course, while my game PC’s do not have “Resume by USB device setting” in the BIOS this should accomplish what you want on the T5 if implemented. That’s why I suggested the USB hub with switches..as a workaround?

Use of a hub with switches is not an option for my application.
Is someone from Beelink going to answer this question?? Which BIOS setting will turn off power to the USB ports when the T5 is off? Thank you

Hi there,

Sorry, but there is no setting to turn off the USB power in the BIOS.
