Advanced Power Management
This computer supports the APM standard designed to further reduce power 
consumption. APM is a power-management approach defined jointly by 
Microsoft and Intel. An increasing number of software packages support APM 
to take advantage of its power-saving features and allows greater system 
availability without degrading performance.
For more information about APM under Windows 95, refer to your Windows 
95 user’s manual.
Note: If you enable heuristic power management in Setup without APM 
installed and enabled (true by default), the system time and date do 
not display the correct settings after the computer returns to normal 
operation from Standby or Hibernation mode. To update the time 
and date, reboot the computer. APM should be enabled to avoid this 
problem. Advanced Power Management greatly prolongs battery 
life. Use APM whenever possible.

PhDISK
The PhDISK utility allows your computer to enter hibernation mode. Before 
entering hibernation mode, your computer saves all necessary computer 
information into a file or partition created by PhDISK, then shuts off power to 
all system components. On the next startup, the computer reloads the 
information from the PhDISK file or partition and resumes from where you left 
off.
Note: By default, this program is automatically loaded and set up on your 
computer so you do not need to run this program by yourself. You 
only need to run this if you upgrade your memory. You can find 
PhDISK in the \windows\command\ directory.
The program accepts the following parameters:
Syntax
PHDISK [options]
where options:
•  /CREATE (/FILE or /PARTITION) creates the hibernation file or 
partition
•  /DELETE (/FILE or /PARTITION) deletes the hibernation file or partition
•  /INFO displays information on the hibernation file or partition
•  /REFORMAT PARTITION reformats the existing hibernation file or 
partition
Note: The Hibernation file is a hidden file named SAVE2DSK.BIN; DO 
NOT delete or alter this file in any way except by using the PHDISK 
utility. Improper deletion or alteration of this file could cause you to 
lose all access to your computer.
Example:
•  C:/phdisk/create/file
•  C:/phdisk/create/partition
