Intelligent power
supply
*1
A microprocessor in the computer's intelligent
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

This feature lets you configure the computer in
order to save battery power. This can be
specified in the Power Options.

Hibernation Mode
*1
When battery power is exhausted to the point
that computer operation cannot be continued, the
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.
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.
