Detection Level Amplification
When the AC adaptor is disconnected or the lid is closed, HDD Detection
assumes that the computer will be carried and sets the detection level to
the maximum for 10 seconds.
TOSHIBA HDD Protection Message
Specify whether to display a message when TOSHIBA HDD Protection is
active.
Heat dispersal
To protect against overheating, the processor is equipped an internal
temperature sensor which activates a cooling fan or lowers the processing
speed if the computer’s internal temperature rises to a certain level. You
are able to select whether to control this temperature by either turning on
the fan first, then if necessary lowering the processor speed, or by lowering
the processor speed first, then if necessary turning on the fan - these
functions are controlled within the Power Options.
When the processor’s temperature falls to a normal range, the fan will be
turned off and the processor operation returned to its standard speed.
■
This function does not work when the computer is starting, in Sleep
Mode, in Hibernation Mode, in transition to Hibernation Mode,
recovering from Hibernation Mode, or powered off. Be sure to not
subject the computer to vibration or impact while the function is
disabled.
■
This function only operates with Windows Vista™.
If the processor’s temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with
either setting, the computer will automatically shuts down to prevent any
damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.
