Windows Security Attention Sequence (SAS) Button
This button is also called the "Side Button” or “OEM” Button. Pressing this button generates the
SAS scan code and invokes the CTRL-ALT-DEL command, which opens the Windows Task
Manager screen.
Power Button
The Power button is primarily used to turn the computer on or off, but it also performs other
functions when the computer is running and when the computer is in sleep or hibernate mode,
as detailed in Table 1.
To turn the computer off when in normal operation, use the available Windows shutdown
procedures from the desktop.
