Idle mode is one of the power management parameters. 
When Idle mode is enabled, the CPU is put into low-
speed operation when there is no activity (keystroke, 
pointer action, sound generation, video display change, 
modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your note-
book for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal 
operation to restart automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Suspend/Resume modes. 

Standby mode is one of the power management parame-
ters. When Standby mode is activated, your notebook 
puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts off the 
display and turns off the hard drive when there is no 
activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation, 
video display change, modem transmission or reception, 
etc.) on your notebook for the user selected time-out 
period. Any activity will cause your notebook to return 
to normal operation automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Power/Suspend/Resume button. 

The Video Timeout is one of the power management 
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the 
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the 
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer 
activity will cause the display to restart automatically. 
This feature is independent of the Power/Suspend/
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in  
Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility 
on page 41 for more information)

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power 
management parameters. This feature saves power by 
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive 
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any 
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart 
automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and 
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS 
Setup Utility on page 41 for more information)

Power Management
The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98 
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power 
management settings. For example, you can use the 
Power Management to set the timeout values for turning 
off the display and hard disks whether you are running 
the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. 
(See Pre-Installed Software on page 34 for more informa-
tion) The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See 
BIOS Setup Utility on page 41 for more information)

ACPI and Windows 98
Short for Advanced Configuration & Power Interface, a 
power management specification developed by Intel, 
Microsoft, and Toshiba. ACPI, which is part of the 
Windows 98 operating system, enables the operating 
system to control the amount of power given to each 
device attached to the computer. With ACPI, the oper-
ating system can turn off peripheral devices, such as the 
CD-ROM player, when it is not in use. Due to ongoing 
industry development of ACPI technology, we have 
configured your notebook to APM (Advanced Power 
Management) mode.

Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a significant 
amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system 
memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When 
you purchase your notebook it will have space allocated 
for the memory installed. If you upgrade the original 
system by adding a memory upgrade module without 
changing the size of your Save-to-Disk allocation you 
will get an error message when you try to activate 
Save-to-Disk mode and it will not work. Use the 
PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Save-to-Disk 
file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Save-to-
Disk File Allocation information from our Web site at
