Power Button

The Power button is a "smart" switch, meaning that it recognizes when the system is in
Standby (Windows 98/2000) or Suspend (Windows NT) mode, if the BIOS parameter
"System Switch" is set to "Sleep." If in Suspend or Standby mode, you cannot power
off until you press the Power button to resume operation.
Put the unit in Standby or Suspend mode when you need to be away from your system
for a short period of time and want to return to where you left off. Standby mode in
Windows 98/2000 and Suspend mode in Windows NT shuts down all devices in the
system while retaining data and system status.
In Windows 98/2000, go to Start, Shutdown, Standby to put your system into
!
Standby mode.
In Windows NT, press the Power button for less than 4 seconds to put your system
!
into Suspend mode.
Use the Power button in the following ways:
!
— Press the Power button to power on.
— Press the Power button to resume from Standby (Windows 98/2000) or Suspend
— Hold the Power button in place for 4 or more seconds to initiate power override
