Power Button
The power (on/off) button is a push button switch located on the bottom of the Thor VX9. The switch is a momentary switch. If
the Thor VX9 is Off, pressing the power switch turns the Thor VX9 On. If the Thor VX9 is On, Windows determines the results
of a power button press. For example, the Thor VX9 may be configured to:
l Shut down
l Hibernate
l Ignore the power button press
l Ask user to choose.
Power button behavior is configured by selecting:
Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the Power buttons do (Classic view)
Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Choose what the Power buttons do (Cat-
egory view)
Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced (Classic view)
Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Advanced (Category view)
Pressing and holding the power switch for several seconds forces a shutdown.
Note: Always turn the computer off prior to removing power cables.
The Thor VX9 is designed for a controlled shutdown when using the power button. A controlled shutdown first closes any open
programs, and then shuts down the Windows operating system. DO NOT remove power from the Thor VX9 without shutting
down the Thor VX9.
The Thor VX9 shutdown may be initiated in any of the following ways:
l Selecting the Shut Down option from the Windows Start Menu.
l Selecting the Shut Down option from the Windows Task Manager. The Windows Task Manager is displayed by
pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del.
l Momentarily pressing and releasing the power button. The Thor VX9 behavior when the power button is pressed can be
configured in the Windows Control Panel.
