Power-on indicator

The power-on indicator lights when the system power is
on. The power-on indicator blinks when power is
available to the system, but the system is not powered
on.

The power button controls the DC power supply output
to the system.

If you turn off the system using the power button

and the system is running an ACPI-compliant operating
system, the system performs a graceful shutdown before
the power is turned off. If the system is not running an
ACPI-compliant operating system, the power is turned off
immediately after the power button is pressed.
