William,

My last message described stand-by from the system timer.  If you have your
power switch set to hibernate, which is ACPI level S4, you will probably
have to hit the switch again.  Try checking out this Microsoft web site:

Subject: [PCBUILD] operation of the atx power switch


> please explain the operation of the atx power switch as far as sleep,
hibernate, etc. I installed ME and took defaults on power management. HD
went to sleep and I could not awaken. What is procedure to awaken? I moved
mouse, hit many keys, finally had to reboot. Thanks PS, I read where you can
put it to sleep by holding switch less then 4 seconds, but how to awaken?
