Ring indicator
power on
This feature lets the computer’s power be turned
on automatically when a call comes in from a
remote modem. When an internal modem
(preinstalled in some models) or an external
modem connected to the computer’s serial port
receives a call from a remote modem, it sends a
ring indicator power on signal to the computer.
This feature works only in Resume mode.
Heat dispersal To protect from overheating, the CPU has an
internal temperature sensor. If the computer’s
internal temperature rises to a certain level, the
cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed is
lowered. You can select whether to control the
CPU temperature by turning on the fan first, then if
necessary, lowering the CPU speed. Or, by
lowering the CPU speed first, then if necessary,
turning on the fan. In Windows 95, you can set the
Cooling Method
in the System window of
Power Mode Setup
in Power Saver. In
Windows 98, use the Fan item of the Power
Save Mode
window in Power Saver.
