What's the second button on the case for?

Hey guys,

Haven't bought a PC in several years, and I noticed that the case for my first rig has a second button next to the start button that none of my other PC's have. What is this button for and what does it do?

Thanks!

It's a Reset button. It resets the PC, Basically it is a hard shut down and restart button.

Oh, so do you do that instead of holding down the power button, waiting for it to turn off, and then turning it back on? Does the power button still work the same way and this is essentially a shortcut?

Yes you use that button instead of holding the power button and Yes it is essentially shortcut. Yes the power button will work just like it does with other cases. Hold for 4 seconds and it shuts down. Press and release once to start.

EDIT: Boy you would be confused with my other case LOL. It has 3 buttons, 1 power, 1 reset, 1 front fan led.
