Soft-Off by PWRBTN

system.
Hold 4 Sec. Regardless of whether the Power Management field is
enabled or disabled, if the power button is pushed
and released in less than 4 sec, the system enters the

prevent the system from powering off in case you
accidentally hit or pushed the power button. Pushing
the power button for more than 4 seconds will
power off the system.
Instant-Off Pressing and then releasing the power button at
once will immediately power off your system.
