(1) APM enhances your system's power-saving abilities by providing increased
inactivity detection and lower CPU power states without degrading
performance. Windows 95 may provide a Power icon in the Control Panel
that lets you select the type of APM you want to use; see the Windows 95
online help information about the Power functions.
(2) Some hard disk drives do not support a low-power standby mode. Also,
the delay caused by the hard disk drive returning to active mode may
cause errors in some applications. If you have problems, you may want to
disable the Hard Disk Standby Timer option (Disabled is the default
setting),
