11. The system power button has two modes of operation, Turn Off Immediate and

Suspend. Although the system BIOS has an option for selecting one of these two
operating modes, the BIOS will initiate a power-down (Turn Off Immediate)
sequence whenever the power button is depressed.

If you are using an operating system that does not support ACPI, all suspend

modes will be handled by the BIOS if the suspend mode was enabled.

If you are using an operating system that supports ACPI or Suspend and Sleep

modes, the LED located in the front panel will flash when the ACPI modes are
initiated. To resume system operation, depress the power button once more and
the system will come back to the last known state. The LED will stop flashing
and will remain lit.
