APM-supported ThinkPad models:

Windows 2000 supports "legacy" computer hardware for features such as APM power
management (e.g., Standby, Resume, and Hibernation), Plug-and-Play PC Card, CardBus,
and Universal Serial Bus (USB) functionality. However, this support does not include
dynamic Plug-and-Play support for docking stations or port replicators. Docking station and
port replicator use under Windows 2000 will offer the same limitations as those found with
Windows NT 4.0.
In addition, APM functionality with Windows 2000 is very limited in terms of overall power
management and Plug-and-Play capability. This includes the following:
Wake-up from Standby mode with Wake-On-Ring and Wake-On-LAN is not
supported -- please see note below.
Wakeup from scheduled tasks set by the scheduler is not supported -- please see note
below.
Dynamic Plug-and-Play support is limited. Dynamic Plug-and-Play for PC Cards,
CardBus, and USB devices are supported. "Hot" and "warm" device swapping for
swappable bay devices, are not supported. Only "cold" swapping is supported for
devices that use the swappable bay – the system must be completely powered down
before inserting or removing a device from the swappable bay.
Dynamic docking station and port replicator use is not supported. Only "cold"
docking and undocking is supported for APM systems – the system must first be
completely powered off before docking or undocking the system-unit.
Note: If you install the IBM ThinkPad Configuration Utility under Windows 2000,
Wake-On-Ring and Wakeup from scheduled task on your computer can be enabled.
