Oh my!! Yes there is a tiny little power switch there. It is writer
next to the connection for the monitory near the top in the upper left
corner ,if your facing the back of the case, it is a round plastic
protuberatnce 5mm in diameter. 

And now I'm really embarrassed because it is covered in the first
pages of the manual. Apple calls it the stanby power button - the
manual says to use it if the machine comes on before your ready when
setting it up.
