Define an Action for the Tablet Power Button

You can get easy access to the Windows 8 power-down modes — Shut Down, Sleep, and Hibernate — by configuring your tablet’s power button.

Windows 8 enables you to configure three “power buttons”: the on/off button, the sleep button, and closing the lid. Of these three, your tablet likely comes with only an on/off button, but you might have the other power buttons if you are using a tablet PC. When you activate these buttons, they put your system into Shut Down, Sleep, or Hibernate mode, depending on your configuration.
