Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook 
PC’s thermal state. These power control cannot be configured by 
the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should 
enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis 
temperature (not CPU).
• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches
the safe upper limit.
• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature
exceeds the safe upper limit.
• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature ex-
ceeds the maximum safe upper limit.
Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your 
current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM 
does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption 
is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because 
certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered. 
“Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Sleep”. Click the Start 
button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. 
Recover by pressing the power button. (NOTE: The power indicator 
will be OFF in this mode.)
