Using Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
This computer has an acceleration sensor function which is designed to
reduce the risk of damage on the hard disk drive. By using the Hard Disk
Drive Protection feature, the system will detect vibration, shocks, and
similar events and automatically move the hard disk drive read/write heads
to a safe position in order to reduce the risk of damage that could be
caused to the drive by head-to-disk contact.
When vibration or shock is detected, the following message will be
displayed and the icon in the notification area of the Windows Task Bar
changed to its “protection” state - this message will be displayed for thirty
seconds or until the OK button is pressed. When the cause of the vibration
or shock has subsided or been removed, the Task Bar icon returns to its
normal state.
