Dual-State Power Button

With ACPI enabled, the power button can function either as an on/off switch or as a button. The 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 without closing applications and to return to the same operational
state without any data loss.
To change the power button configuration:
1. Click Start, and select Control Panel>Power Options.
2. In Power Options Properties, click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Power Button section, select Hibernate. (Hibernate must be enabled in the Hibernate
tab.)
After configuring the power button to function as a button, press the power button to put the system in
a very low power state. Press the button again to bring the system out of the very low power state to full
power status. To completely turn off all power to the system, press and hold the power button for four
seconds.
CAUTION:
responding; turning off the power without operating system interaction could cause damage to or loss
of data on the hard drive.

HP support website

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, you must 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.
This website contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to run the
latest Microsoft Windows operating system on the HP workstation.
