AC Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to
either power-on the system manually, let the system power-on
automatically or return to the state where you left off before power
failure occurs. Refer to “PWRON After PWR-Fail” (“Onboard Super
I/O Device” field) in the Integrated Peripherals section in chapter 3
for more information.
