4 Summary of the HP/Phoenix BIOS
Vectra Ergonomic Power Solution (VEPS)

Advanced Power Management (APM)

The BIOS is APM 1.1 compliant, providing it with facilities for advanced
power management (APM). APM is incorporated in Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95 and OS/2. A file called is needed
power.exe
for APM under DOS.
APM is a standard, defined by Intel and Microsoft, for a power-saving mode
that is applicable under a wide range of operating systems. It supports the
following modes: Fully-on, Standby, Suspend, Hibernation and Off. Of
these, APM 1.1 supports: Fully-on, Standby, Suspend and Off.
The Suspend mode is managed at the operating system level only, from the
Windows 95 Start menu. There is no longer the inter-activity between the
Setup program and the operating system, and no longer a "sleep at" item on
the Setup program menus, to avoid the BIOS from shutting down the system
at the wrong moment.
