Active Protection System

The Active Protection System protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating; so the system stops it from spinning, and may also move the read/write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns the hard disk drive on.

To open Active Protection System, do the following:

•For Windows 7: See “Accessing applications in Windows 7” on page 16.

•For Windows Vista and Windows XP: To configure the protection system, click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Active Protection System.

Fingerprint Software

If your system comes with a fingerprint reader, the Fingerprint Software program is installed and enables you to enroll your fingerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, the fingerprint authentication can replace your password and enable simple and secure user access.

To open the fingerprint software, do the following:

•For Windows 7: See “Accessing applications in Windows 7” on page 16.

•For Windows Vista and Windows XP: Click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software.

Note: Depending on the date when your computer was manufactured, your computer is preinstalled with either the Lenovo Solution Center program or the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program for diagnostic purposes.

The Lenovo Solution Center program enables you to troubleshoot and resolve computer problems. It combines diagnostic tests, system information collection, security status, and support information, along with hints and tips for maximum system performance.
