Dual-State Power Button
With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled, the power button can function either as an on/off
switch or as a Standby button. The Standby feature does not completely turn off power, but instead causes the
workstation to enter a low-power standby state. This allows you to power down quickly without closing applications and
to return quickly to the same operational state without any data loss.
To change the power button configuration:
Click Start > Control Panel > Power Options.
1.
2. In the Power Options Properties, select the Advanced tab.
3. In the Power Button section, select Standby.
After configuring the power button to function as a Standby button, press the power button to put the system in a very
low power state (Standby). Press the button again to quickly bring the system out of Standby to full power status. To
completely turn off all power to the system, press and hold the power button for four seconds.
CAUTION: Do not use the power button to turn off the workstation unless the system is not responding; turning off the
power without operating system interaction could cause damage to or loss of data on the hard drive.

HP engineers rigorously test and debug software developed by HP and third-party suppliers, and develop operating
system specific support software, to ensure performance, compatibility, and reliability for HP workstations.
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is important to implement the support software
designed for that operating system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft Windows that is different from the version
included with the workstation, you must install corresponding device drivers and utilities to ensure that all features are
supported and functioning properly.
HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest support software easier. You can
download the software from http://www.hp.com/support.
The Web site contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to run the latest Microsoft
Windows operating system on the HP workstation.
