English translation:With a respective/ensuing (CPU) blockage
Explanation:
I interpret this sentence to mean that placing the CPU in stop mode using the mode selector has the same effect as if the CPU had gone to stop mode due to a malfunction and results in the same CPU blockage (although I am not sure that blockage is the best term in this case).

If I were translating this, I would probably try to get away from the Italian construction a bit, otherwise it might sound awkward.

I hope this helps.
