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.)

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.

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.
