    I suspect it has to do with the ACPI stuff on board- something about
how to actually disable the power supply. Personally I keep my
workstations always-up, so it's not a problem here.  But if your BIOS is
set differently, it might find a state were it's not able to do this
anymore.

    Let me know, aye?
