Abstract
A system and method for delaying power to a computer system. The method includes providing a standby signal. The method further includes receiving a power up signal. The method also includes delaying the power up signal. The method further includes passing the power up signal to the computer system after delaying the power up signal. The system includes a detection circuit and a delay circuit. The detection circuit is configured to receive a standby signal from a power supply. The detection circuit is also configured to output a control signal. The delay circuit is coupled to receive the control signal. The delay circuit is configured to output a delayed control signal for the power supply in response to the control signal after a predetermined period of time.
