Active Protection System
The Active Protection System protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your computer
detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The hard
disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating; so the system stops it from spinning, and
may also move the read/write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock
sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it
turns the hard disk drive on.
To open Active Protection System, do the following:
• For Windows 7: See “Accessing applications in Windows 7” on page 33
.
• For Windows Vista and Windows XP: Click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Active Protection
System.
