Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HDD automatic power

This feature automatically cuts off power to the

 

 

off *1

 

hard disk drive when it is not accessed for a

 

 

 

specified time, with power being restored when

 

 

 

the hard disk drive is next accessed. This can be

 

 

 

specified in the Power Options.

 

System automatic

 

This feature automatically shuts down the system

 

 

Sleep/Hibernation

 

into either Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode

 

Mode *1

 

when there is no input or hardware access for a

 

 

 

specified time. This can be specified in the Power

 

 

 

Options.

 

Keypad overlay

 

A ten-key numeric keypad is integrated into the

 

 

 

 

keyboard. Please refer to the Keypad overlay

 

 

 

section in Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for

 

 

 

information on using this feature.

 

Power on password

Two levels of password security, supervisor and

 

 

 

 

user, are available to prevent unauthorized

 

 

 

access to your computer.

 

Instant security

 

A specific hot key function automatically locks the

 

 

 

 

system providing data security.

 

Intelligent power

 

A microprocessor in the computer's intelligent

 

 

supply *1

 

power supply detects the battery's charge,

 

 

 

automatically calculates the remaining battery

 

 

 

capacity and protects electronic components

 

 

 

from abnormal conditions such as a voltage

 

 

 

overload from the AC adaptor. This can be

 

 

 

specified in the Power Options.

 

Battery save mode *1

This feature lets you configure the computer in

 

 

 

 

order to save battery power. This can be

 

 

 

specified in the Power Options.

 

Low battery

 

When battery power is exhausted to the point

 

 

automatic

*1

that computer operation cannot be continued, the

 

Hibernation Mode

system automatically enters Hibernation Mode

 

 

 

and shuts itself down. This can be specified in the

 

 

 

Power Options.

 

Heat dispersal *1

 

To protect against overheating, the processor has

 

 

 

 

an internal temperature sensor so that, 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.

If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.
