Introduction

Low battery

automatic

hibernation

When battery power is exhausted to the point that

computer operation cannot be continued, the

system automatically enters Hibernation and

shuts down. You can specify the setting in the

Setup Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

Heat dispersal

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. Use the Cooling Method item of the

Basic Setup tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

Optical media drive

power icon

Use this to turn the power of the optical media

drive on or off. Clicking on the optical media drive

icon on the taskbar will turn the power of the

optical media drive on or off. If the optical media

drive power is off, the disc tray will not open even

if the eject button is pushed. The power of the

optical media drive can be turned on using the

optical media drive icon.

HDD Protection

Using the acceleration sensor built in the

computer, HDD Protection detects vibration,

shocks, and those signs in the computer, and

automatically moves the HDD (Hard Disk Drive)

head to the safe position to reduce the risk of

damage that could be caused to the disk by

head-to-disk contact. Refer to the

Using the Hard

Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

section in Chapter 4,

Operating Basics

, for details.

The HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard disk drive

will not be damaged.

Hibernation

This feature lets you turn off the power without

exiting from your software. The contents of main

memory are saved to the hard disk, when you

turn on the power again, you can continue

working right where you left off. Refer to the

Turning off the power

section in Chapter 3,

Getting Started

, for details.
