If you reformat the internal hard drive
ALL information including the operating
system, applications software and data
will be erased. Unless data is copied to
floppy disks or other data storage media
it will be permanently lost. All software
will be need to be re-installed and data
files restored from your back-up disks.
See the operating system manual for
information on backing-up your data
files. The factory installed software,
including the operating system, can be
restored from the Recovery CD-ROM
which came with your notebook. It
was in the accessories box when you
purchased your notebook. (See Restoring
Your Pre-installed Software from CD-ROM
on page 149 for more information.)
Any
application software which you have
purchased and installed will have to
be re-installed from the original source.
When doing a recovery remember that
you must allocate space for the Save-
to-Disk function if you have it enabled
(See Setting Up Your Save-to-Disk File
Allocation on pages 94–95 for
more information.)
Internal power management for your notebook
is controlled from settings made in the BIOS
setup utility, the application PowerPanel by
Phoenix Technologies,and the Windows 95
Control Panel. If no settings have been made in
PowerPanel or the Windows 95 Control Panel,
the BIOS settings will be used. The PowerPanel
and Windows 95 Control Panel options have
been pre-set at the factory and will be active
unless you disable them. Complete descriptions
of the BIOS setup utility parameters are found
in Section Three of this guide. Power manage-
ment parameters are covered under the Power
Savings menu. (See pages 96–101.)
Some particular power management para-
meters are only available for setup from one
of these places, others can be changed in any
one of them.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Your LifeBook 900 Series has many features for
conserving power. Some power saving features
are automatic and have no user control, such
as those for the internal modem, while others
depend on the user setting the parameter to
best suit their operating conditions. Power sav-
ing features include: turning the display bright-
ness down,limiting the use of high power
devices, activating an appropriate power savings
profile,and putting your notebook in Suspend
mode when not actually performing an opera-
tion. As with all mobile,battery-powered com-
puters,there is a trade-off between performance
and power savings.
