Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

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 Fan item of the Basic Setup

 

 

tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Standby

If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn

 

 

off the power without exiting from your software.

 

 

Data is maintained in the computer’s main

memory. When you turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
