The Toshiba Hardware Setup screen has the following tabs:
General—Allows you to view the current BIOS version
or change certain settings back to their default values
Device Config—Shows the Device configuration options
Display—Allows you to change various default settings
for the built-in LCD display
When the computer restarts, it remembers the last
configuration. If data does not appear on the display you are
using after starting in Standby Mode, press Fn + F5.
CPU—Allows you to enable or disable CPU frequency
switching modes.
Dynamically Switchable—This mode is the default
setting for your computer, and automatically changes the
processing frequency and decreases voltage depending
on the power source:
AC Power—If your computer is connected to the AC
adaptor, the CPU frequency mode is set to high for
faster processing.
Battery Power—If your computer is running on
battery power, the CPU frequency mode is set to low
for slower processing. Switching the CPU to low
allows you to conserve power and extend the
operating time of your battery.
Always High—Sets the CPU speed to high when using
either the battery or the AC adaptor.
Always Low—Sets the CPU speed to low when using
either the battery or the AC adaptor.
