Description

1

Power
button

The power button turns system power off and on.

 

NOTICE:

If you turn off the system using the power button and

the system is running an ACPI-compliant operating system, the
system can perform an orderly shutdown before power is
turned off. If the power button is pressed for more than 4
seconds, the system power will turn off regardless of the
current operating system state. If the system is not running an
ACPI-compliant operating system, power is turned off
immediately after the power button is pressed.

The power button is enabled in the System Setup program.
When disabled, the button can only turn the system power on.
For more information, see

Using the System Setup Program

and

the operating system's documentation.
