Power Button
The Power button is a “smart” switch, meaning that it recognizes when the system is in
Suspend (Windows 95) or Standby (Windows 98) mode, if the BIOS parameter
“System Switch” is set to “Sleep.” If in Suspend or Standby mode, you cannot power
off until you press the Power button to resume operation.
Put the unit in Suspend or 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. Suspend mode in
Windows 95 and Standby mode in Windows 98 shuts down all devices in the system
while retaining data and system status.
!
In Windows 95, press the Power button for less than 4 seconds to put your system
into Suspend mode.
!
In Windows 98, go to Start, Shutdown, Standby to put your system into Standby
mode.
!
Use the Power button in the following ways:
Press the Power button to power on.
Press the Power button to resume from Suspend (Windows 95) or Standby
(Windows 98) mode and proceed with normal operation.
Hold the Power button in place for 4 or more seconds to initiate power override
(powers off the system). Only use this option if you cannot power off your
system using Start, Shutdown.
