Power Switch 4< sec. When set to Suspend, this parameter adds the
suspend function to the system power button on the front panel. The suspend
function allows you to put the system into suspend mode by pressing the
power button for less than four seconds while the system is on. When this
parameter is set to Power off, the power button simply turns the system power
on or off. This parameter is set to Power off by default.

the Modem Wake-Up on Ring feature. When enabled and if the computer is in

there is an incoming modem access. The default setting is Enabled.
