This will only work if your computer supports this. For this, both your BIOS and
your &os2; must support at least
APM V1.1.
The APM level of your system (and the APM.SYS
driver level version) is displayed on the shutdown notebook page for your convenience.
If the "Delay" setting is also enabled, &xshutdown; will wait three seconds
before actually issuing the power-off request to the APM.SYS
driver.
This might help on a few systems where the APM driver switched off the power before
all caches were flushed. If you get CHKDSK's after using APM power-off, you might want
to try to enable this setting.
