Operating systems with APM (Windows 95, Windows NT with APM
extensions)
i
For operating systems with APM (Advanced Power Management) you can set the energy-
saving functions in the
BIOS Setup
(e.g.
Suspend to RAM
,
Save to Disk
,
LCD off
etc.).
Setting energy-saving modes
Ê
Call the
BIOS Setup
.
Ê
Set which energy-saving mode you want to use in the
Power
menu.
Ê
Set the
Auto Suspend Timeout
parameter in the
Power
menu to a time period after which the
workstation is to be switched into the energy-saving mode.
Suspend to DRAM
In this mode the current data in the main memory (DRAM) is stored. The data is stored for as long
as the workstation is supplied with energy. If the battery is full, the data is stored for a matter of
days. Without a battery and without a power supply the current data is lost.
Save to Disk
So that the current data can be saved, sufficient memory must be available on the hard disk. If the
operating system Windows NT or OS/2 Warp is used, a Save-to-Disk partition must be created on
the hard disk (see manual for respective operating system).
In this case also see the section "PHDISK (for Windows 98 and Windows NT only)".
