*1
A microprocessor in the computer’s intelligent
power supply detects the battery’s charge,
automatically calculates the remaining battery
capacity and protects electronic components
from abnormal conditions such as a voltage
overload from the AC adaptor. This can be
specified in the Power Options.
Battery save mode *1 This feature lets you configure the computer in
order to save battery power. This can be
specified in the Power Options.
Panel power on/off *1 This feature automatically turns power to the
computer off when the display panel is closed,
and turns it back on when the display panel is
opened. This can be specified in the Power

Hibernation Mode
*1
When battery power is exhausted to the point that
computer operation cannot be continued, the
system automatically enters Hibernation Mode
and shuts itself down. This can be specified in the
Power Options.
Heat dispersal *1 To protect from overheating, the CPU has an
internal temperature sensor. If the computer’s
internal temperature rises to a certain level, the
cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed
is lowered. This can be specified in the Power
Options.
If the processor’s temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with
either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any
damage - in this instance any unsaved data in memory will be lost.
TOSHIBA HDD

the computer to detect vibration and shocks, and
automatically moves the hard disk drive’s read/
write head to a safe position in order to reduce
the risk of damage that could be caused by
head-to-disk contact. Refer to the
Using the Hard
Disk Drive (HDD) Protection section in Chapter 4,
