Abstract
A grid power mode is defined such that, when the PC is in a grid power mode, pressing the power switch of the PC retains power to the system, but restores operation of the PC to the 'on/off/standby' mode the user expects. Other aspects include: an indicator telling the user that a grid function is in progress; a reprogrammed power on/off/resume switch; and a notification protocol.
