Toshiba S50t-A/S50Dt-A, S50-A/S50D-A Toshiba Password Utility, User Password, Heat dispersal *1

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.
