PN1 - Hardware Suspend switch

There is no specific orientation. Connect the two-thread hardware suspend
plug to the PN1 connector pins on the mainboard. Since most cases do not
support this feature, most of you ignore this instruction. Furthermore, this
feature is not necessary as it is already a part of the mainboard.
