HARD DRIVE
The internal hard drive capacity is dependent
on which model you are using. See Appendix A
(pages 152-156) for model information.
Formatting the Hard Drive
The hard drive inside your notebook is format-
ted (initialized) at the factory. You do not need
to format it under normal circumstances.
The factory installed software, including
the operating system, can be re s t o red fro m
the Recovery CD-ROM which came in the
accessories box when you purchased your
notebook. (See Restoring Your Pre - i n s t a l l e d
S o f t w a re from CD-ROM on page 145
for more inform a t i o n . ) Any application
s o f t w a re which you have purchased and
installed will have to be re-installed fro m

and power savings.
Internal power management for your note-
book is controlled from settings made in the
BIOS setup utility, PowerPanel by Phoenix
Technologies,and the Windows 95 Control
panel. If no settings have been made in
PowerPanel or the Windows 95 Control
panel,then the BIOS settings will be used.
The PowerPanel and the Windows 95 Control
panel have been pre-set at the factory and will
be active unless you disable them. Complete
descriptions of the BIOS setup utility para-
meters are found in Section Three of this
guide. Power management parameters are
covered under the Power Savings menu.
(See pages 86-93.)
Some particular power parameters are only
available for setup from one of these places,
others can be changed in any one of them.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Your LifeBook 600 Series has many features for
conserving power. Some power savings features
are automatic and have no user control, such as
those for the internal modem, while others
depend on the user setting the parameters
which best suit their operating needs. Power
Savings features include: turning the display
