Single pole, single throw-- one pole means there's two pins on the back, when the button is pushed (or the switch is thrown) the circuit is complete. SIngle throw means it can only be pushed in one direction form its static state.
Double pole, single throw-- there would be four pins, two different circuits to use, if you wished, both single thrown.
Page 13 in the .pdf file (page 8 in the hardcopy) of thte manual shows the "front panel facilities" header J1. Pins 13 and fifteen, if shorted together, provide the Reset signal. Pins 14 and 16, if shorted, are Power.
So, if you were to isolate teh wires for the existing case harness that lead to the power button and connected them one to 14, the other to 16, you would have your power button functionality restored.
If you are willing to foot the bill, I'll fly over to your house and fix it for you.
