Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intelligent power

A microprocessor in the computer’s intelligent

 

supply

power supply detects the battery’s charge and

 

 

calculates the remaining battery capacity. It also

 

 

protects electronic components from abnormal

 

 

conditions, such as voltage overload from an AC

 

 

adaptor. This can be specified in the Power

 

 

Options.

 

 

 

 

 

Battery save mode

This feature allows you to configure the computer

 

 

in order to save battery power. This can be

 

 

specified in the Power Options.

 

 

 

 

Panel power on/off

This feature turns power to the computer off

 

 

when the display panel is closed and turns it

 

 

back on when the panel is opened. This can be

 

 

specified in the Power Options.

 

 

 

 

Low battery

When battery power is exhausted to the point

 

automatic

that computer operation cannot be continued, the

 

hibernation mode

system automatically enters hibernation and

 

 

shuts down. This can be specified in the Power

 

 

Options.

 

 

 

 

 

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. This can be specified in the Power

 

 

Options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maximum

Turns on fan first, then if

 

 

Performance

processing speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Battery

Lowers the CPU processing

 

 

Optimized

speed first, then if necessary

 

 

 

turns on the fan.

 

 

 

 

Hibernation

This feature allows you to 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

 

 

 

 

Sleep

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.
