According to my Abit KT7 mb manual: Soft-Off by PWRBTN is
activated when the user presses the power button for more than four
seconds, while the system is in the working state, then the system will
transition to the soft-off(Power off by software).
When the Wake-Up on LAN is enabled, a wake up event, like using
the PCnet Magic Packet utility will awaken a system which has been
powered down.
Of course the exact method of operation may vary with different
mother boards.
