TOSHIBA HDD
Protection
Using the acceleration sensor built in the
computer, the TOSHIBA HDD Protection function
detects vibrations and shocks, and automatically
moves the hard disk drive’s read/write head to a
safe position to reduce the risk of damage that
could be caused by head-to-disk contact. Refer to
the Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics , for
details.
The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard
disk drive will not be damaged.
Hibernation This feature lets you turn off the power without
exiting from your software. The contents of main
memory are saved to the hard disk so that when
you next turn the power on again, you can
continue working right where you left off. Refer to
the Turning on the power section in Chapter 1,
Getting Started , for details.
Standby If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off
the power without exiting from your software.
