IBM PC730/PC750 - Problem with Advanced Power Management
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 may not go into a low power (Managed) state with the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature enabled AND OS/2 loaded.
Problem Isolation Aids:
6877 and 6887 systems may not exhibit the low power state that was selected in the Advanced Power Management setup. The most obvious way to detect this failure is that power management capable monitors will not go blank. Following is an example of an APM setup that may fail:
Level-1 5 min - System Power [On]
CPU Speed [25%]
Display [Standby]
Level-2 10 min - System Power [Off]
After 15 minutes, if the display and system are still active, this tip applies. If the display is blank and the system is off, this does not apply.
Fix:
Update the systems Flash BIOS level to level 31A or higher.
