Power Button
The Power button is a "smart" switch, meaning that it recognises when the system is in Standby mode. If in
Standby mode, you cannot power off until you press the Power button to resume operation.
Use the Power button in the following ways:
Press the Power button to power on.
Press the Power button to put your system into Standby mode.
Press the Power button to resume from Standby mode and proceed with normal operation.
Press and hold the Power button in place for 4 or more seconds to initiate power override (powers of
f
the system). Only use this option if you cannot power off your system using the normal procedure
described in the
'Tips'
section relevant to your operating system.
Put the unit in Standby mode when you need to be away from your system for a short period of time and want
to return to where you left off. Standby mode shuts down all devices in the system while retaining data and
system status.
Check the
'Managing System Power'
section relevant to your operating system for more information on the
power management states.
