Soft-Off by PWRBTN (Instant-Off) 

Under ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power manage-
ment Interface) you can create a software power down. In a 
software power down, the system can be resumed by Wake 
Up Alarms. This item lets you install a software power down 
that is controlled by the normal power button on your system. 
If the item is set to Instant-Off, then the power button causes a 
software power down. If the item is set to Delay 4 Sec. then 
you have to hold the power button down for four seconds to 
cause a software power down. 

Keyboard Power On (Disabled) 

Enable this item to allow the system to be resumed from a 
software powerdown or a power-saving mode by a keystroke 
on the keyboard. 

 Wake Up Events   

This item opens a submenu that enables you to set events 
that will resume the system from a power saving mode. Select
