Greetings Sgtstharry !
The first thing you'll want to check is, if 'auto power on', is on in the BIOS. Here's how:
Enter the BIOS: Power up the unit and when you see the Dell screen, start hitting the F2 key till you see the set-up menu.
Once in the set-up menu, go to 'power management' then 'Auto Power On' and see what it's set to.
Please reply back if it's already set to 'off' and I'll look into this further if needed.
