Hardware, Utilities and Options

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.

This feature lets you configure the computer in 

order to save battery power. This can be 

specified in the Power Options. 

This feature automatically turns power to the 

computer off when the display panel is closed, 

and turns it back on when the display panel is 

opened. This can be specified in the Power 

Options. 

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. 

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.

This feature uses the acceleration sensor built in 

the computer to detect vibration 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 

 section in 

Chapter 4, Operating Basics, for more details.
