    Abstract:  IBM PC300-GL FAILS TO ENTER APM MODE WITH NT 4.0


  SYMPTOM:
  IBM PC300-GL 6272/6282 systems running WindowsNT 4.0 with
  Advanced Power Management (APM) enabled may fail to enter
  APM mode, or may take longer to enter APM mode than what is
  specified in APM setup.

  PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
  This tip applies if the user has enabled APM mode via the
  setup utility. The system will not enter an APM state,
  or will take longer than the user specified times to
  enter the APM state.

  FIX:
  All hardware interrupt monitoring must be disabled in BIOS
  except for the keyboard and mouse.

  To disable hardware interrupt monitoring:
  1. Press F1 during post to enter setup.
  2. Highlight Advanced Power Management and press enter.
  3. Highlight Activity Monitor and press enter.
  4. Change each IRQ to 'disabled' except 1 and 12.
  5. Save changes and exit.
