mode is a suspend to RAM, i.e., the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh
current to the system memory.

button on your system. If the item is set to Instant-Off, then the power button causes a
software power down. If the item is set to Delay 4 Sec. then you have
to hold the power button down for four seconds to cause a software power down.
