Restarting the PC
Normally, you can
1.Pressing the power button at the front panel of the chassis. or
2.Pressing the power switch that is on the system board (note: not all system boards come with this switch).
If for some reasons you need to totally cut off the power supplied to the PC, switch off the power supply or unplug the power cord. Take note though that if you intend to restart it at once, please strictly follow the steps below.
1.The time where power is totally discharged varies among power supplies. It's discharge time is highly dependent on the system's configuration such as the wattage of the power supply, the se- quence of the supplied power as well as the number of periph- eral devices connected to the system. Due to this reason, we strongly recommend that you wait for the Standby Power LED (refer to the “LEDs” section in this chapter for the location of the Standby Power LED) to lit off.
2.After the Standby Power LED has lit off, wait for 6 seconds before powering on the PC.
If the system board is already enclosed in a chassis which appar- ently will not make the Standby Power LED visible, wait for 15 seconds before you restore power connections. 15 seconds is approximately the time that will take the LED to lit off and the time needed before restoring power.
The above will ensure protection and prevent damage to the motherboard and components.
