Introduction
TOSHIBA HDD
Protection
This feature which is for the hard disk drive
models uses the acceleration sensor built in the
computer to detect vibration, falls and shocks,
and automatically moves the hard disk drive’s
read/write head to a safe position in order to
reduce the risk of damage that could be caused
by head-to-disk contact. Refer to the Using the
Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics for details.
The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard
disk drive will not be damaged.
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 in Chapter 3,
Getting Started, for more details.
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.
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, moving the
mouse/keyboard will wakeup the computer.

Windows
®
7 operating system and it works for all
