  No, not at the back.  If you count the (usually) black rocker switch,
that makes it 3.  On the *FRONT* of your PC, you should see 2 buttons.
The large one is the soft shutdown, controllable by ACPI.  The other
(hardware reset) one is deliberately small, so that you don't accidently
click it when looking for the other button.
