Rapid Resume: This screen provides information about the Rapid Resume
features. Rapid Resume is an exclusive IBM energy-saving feature with
many useful options. See “Using Rapid Resume Manager” on page 1-24 for
more information.
Rapid Resume can:
Save the current state of the computer when you power it off. Any
applications or programs open when the computer is powered off will be
open when the computer is powered back on.
Automatically power off the computer when you have not used the
mouse, keyboard, or hard disk for an amount of time you select. If you
have an energy-saving monitor, it will also power off.
Put the computer in a Standby mode to conserve energy when you
have not used the mouse, keyboard, or hard disk for an amount of time
you select.
Reduce the time the computer takes to start up.
Automatically power-on the computer when the phone rings so that the
computer can receive a fax (Wake Up on Ring).
Automatically power-on the computer at a date and time you choose
(Wake Up on Alarm).
The following are the Rapid Resume options you can change:
APM BIOS Mode: The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is the machine
language that runs the computer. The APM BIOS Mode option shows you
the advanced power management (APM) mode that the operating system’s
APM driver should use when it communicates with BIOS. For Microsoft
Windows 95, APM BIOS Mode should be set to 32-Bit Protected.
Note: If you are using the OS/2 operating system, select 16-Bit Protected
for the APM BIOS Mode.
Rapid Resume: This screen lets you turn Rapid Resume on (
Enabled
) or
off (
Disabled
).
Automatic Power Off is the option that allows you to set the amount of time
that will pass before the computer powers off automatically. For example:
3 minutes
means that if the mouse, keyboard, or hard disk are not used for
30 minutes, the computer powers off automatically. Only energy-saving
monitors will power off automatically with Rapid Resume.
The current state of the computer is saved before the computer powers off.
Any applications or programs open when the computer powers off will be
open when you power the computer back on.
