AutoShutdown Service
The Dell AutoShutdown service provides the Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, and Windows 95 operating systems the ability to perform an orderly
system shutdown when you press the power button.
How the AutoShutdown Service Works
The power button operates in two modes: immediate and AutoShutdown. When the system is off, the power button always acts in immediate
mode
—that is, when you press the button, the system turns on immediately.
When the system is on and the AutoShutdown service is installed, the power button operates in AutoShutdown mode. Pressing the power button
signals the operating system to perform an orderly shutdown (reducing the possibility of data loss and file corruption) before removing power from
the system. During the shutdown sequence, the power indicator on the computer blinks.
