How to Activate a Computer Power Supply
You can set your desktop computer or laptop to automatically activate the power supply if you want the computer system to turn on at a specific time each day. This means that you will not need to press the power button each day to turn your computer's power supply on. Setting the power supply to come on automatically can save time so you do not have to wait while the computer is loading the operating system.
