 Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN
This option only works with systems using an ATX power supply. It
also allows the user to define which type of soft power OFF
sequence the system will follow. The default value is “Instant-Off”.
Instant-Off
This option follows the conventional manner systems
perform when power is turned OFF. Instant-Off is a soft
power OFF sequence requiring only the switching of the
power supply button to OFF
Delay 4 Sec.
Upon turning OFF system from the power switch, this option
will delay the complete system power OFF sequence by
approximately 4 seconds. Within this delay period, system
will temporarily enter into Suspend Mode enabling you to
restart the system at once.
** Reload Global Timer Events **
Global Timer (power management) events can prevent the system
from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from
such a mode.
