Configuring the Power Button 

The power button may be set to send the computer in to either Stand-
by or Hibernate modes (Figure 3 - 10). In Standby mode the power
LED will flash orange, in Hibernate mode the LED will be off. If
you are in a power saving mode set to save power through individual
components (e.g. hard disk, monitor), the LED will remain green.
