The Mac IIcx/ci, IIvx/vi, Performa 600, Quadra 700, Centris/Quadra 650, and Power Mac 7100 had a rather nice feature designed for ease of use as servers: the power button can be locked in the in position so that when the power is interrupted, the Mac will restart automatically. To disable this feature (rather annoying if you don’t want the computer running 24/7), simply take a flathead screwdriver and turn the power button in the back about a quarter-turn in either direction. The button will pop out and the Mac will no longer restart whenever it’s shut down.
