When the POST is finished, the status
screen icon indicates the approximate
battery charge. When the system detects
a level of about 10% (sometime after
the icon appears) the system starts
making a warning “beep”. When this
happens, save your work immediately and
plug in the power adapter.
If you don’t have access to an AC power
source, shut down the system and re-
place the battery pack or recharge until
the power level is at least 40% ( ).
Note : The battery charge level is visible
after the system completes the POST.
The battery recharges when the system
is OFF.

Save to Disk Setup
When the BIOS instructs the system to “Save to
Disk”, it makes use of a special file or partition on
the HDD. This is created and managed by the
PHDisk utility found on the same floppy as the
CD-ROM driver. Another copy is on the Software
& Utilities CD-ROM.
• DOS , Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 can use
both file and partition methods.
• Windows NT and OS/2 only use the partition
method.
The Save to Disk partition must be setup before
you install the operating system.
Setup the Save to Disk file after you install the op-
erating system.

PACE
Both partition and file methods occupy the same
amount of space on your HDD. A typical setup’s
space requirements might be:
memory type size in KB size in MB
(as seen by PHDisk )
system memory 16,384.0KB (16 MB)
video memory 4096.0KB (4 MB)
standard overhead 0.3KB
total 20480.3KB (approx 20MB)
recommended space 21,504.0KB 21MB*
*The recommended space should always be about
1MB more than the total calculated.
1MB = 1024KB
Check the specifications for your system
before you run the PHDisk utility.
