Using the BIOS Utility for Power Management
With Windows running in ACPI mode, power can be controlled through the Power Management

have no effect.
Power Button Settings
The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby in the Power Management
Properties dialog box in the Windows Control Panel. However, holding the power button down for
more than four seconds will force a power off while operating under any situation, resulting in the
loss of any unsaved information.

requirements.
