Power Button
The Power button is a “smart” switch, meaning that it recognizes when the system is in Standby
(Windows 98/2000) or Suspend (Windows NT) mode, if the BIOS parameter “System Switch”
is set to “Sleep.” If in Suspend or Standby mode, you cannot power off until you press the
Power button to resume operation.
Put the unit in Standby or Suspend mode when away from the system for a short period of time
and want to return to where you left off. Standby mode in Windows 98/2000 and Suspend mode
in Windows NT shuts down all devices in the system while retaining data and system status.
!
In Windows 98/2000, go to Start, Shutdown, Standby to put the system into Standby mode.
!
In Windows NT, press the Power button for less than 4 seconds to put the system into
Suspend mode.
