Sleep Mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you can use

 

this feature to allow you to turn off power to the

 

computer without exiting from your software.

 

Data is maintained in the computer's main

 

memory so that when you next turn on the

 

power, you can continue working right where you

 

left off.

 

 

Hibernation Mode

This feature lets you turn off the power to the

 

computer without exiting from your software. The

 

contents of main memory are automatically

 

saved to the Hard Disk Drive so that when you

 

next turn the power on again, you can continue

 

working right where you left off. Refer to the

 

Turning off the power section, for more details.

USB Wakeup function This function restores the computer from Sleep Mode depending on the external devices connected to the USB ports.

 

For example, if a mouse or USB keyboard is

 

connected to a USB port, clicking the mouse

 

button or pressing the keyboard will wakeup the

 

computer.

Heat dispersal *1

To protect against overheating, the processor is

 

equipped with an internal temperature sensor

 

which activates a cooling fan or lowers the

 

processing speed if the computer's internal

 

temperature rises to a certain level. You are able

 

to select whether to control this temperature by

 

either turning on the fan first, then if necessary

 

lowering the processor speed, or by lowering the

 

processor speed first, then if necessary turning

 

on the fan. Both of these functions are controlled

 

through the Power Options.

 

When the processor's temperature falls within

 

normal range, the fan and the processor

 

operation will return to its standard speed.

 

If the processor's temperature reaches an

 

unacceptably high level with either setting, the

 

computer automatically shuts down to prevent

 

any damage. In this instance all unsaved data in

 

memory will be lost.
