Technical Information
More detailed information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program is in the
PC 300GL and PC 300PL User Guide.
Advanced Power Management (APM)
Your computer has built-in energy-saving capabilities. Advanced Power Management
(APM) is a feature that reduces the power consumption of components when they are
not in use. When enabled, APM initiates reduced-power modes for the monitor,
microprocessor, and hard disk drive after a specified period of inactivity.
The BIOS supports APM 1.2. This enables the system to enter a power-management
state, reducing the power drawn from the AC electrical outlet. Advanced Power
Management is enabled through the Configuration/Setup Utility program and is
controlled by the individual operating system.
For more information on APM, see the User Guide.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS mode enables the
operating system to control the power-management features of your computer. Not
all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode. Refer to your operating-system
documentation to determine if ACPI is supported.
Flash update utility program
The flash update utility program is a stand-alone program to support flash updates.
This utility program updates the BIOS code and the machine readable information
(MRI) to different languages.
The latest version of the flash update utility program is available on the IBM Web site
at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support and can be copied to a 3.5-inch diskette.
Diagnostic program
The diagnostic program that comes with your computer is provided as a startable
IBM Enhanced Diagnostic diskette image on the IBM Product Recovery CD. It runs
independently of the operating system. The user interface is WaterGate Software PC-
Doctor. The diagnostic program can also be downloaded from
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. For more information
on the diagnostic program, see the User Guide.
