Accelerometer Control Panel
The eo TufTab a7230X is equipped
with an Accelerometer that can
track the system’s relative orienta-
tion and movement. The Acceler-
ometer Control Panel utilizes this
capability by allowing the Hard
Disk Drives heads to park, in the
event the system is dropped or
jarred, to prevent data corruption.
Additionally, the control panel
gives you the option to have the screen display automatically
rotate to match the orientation of the system.
To launch the Control Panel, tap and hold on the
icon in the
System Tray of the Windows Taskbar. When the pop-up menu
appears, tap on “Show”. You will be presented with the control
panel’s interface.
HDD Protection, when turned ON, will automatically park the
hard drive’s heads to prevent damage to the drive’s platters in
case of a sudden impact to the system’s chassis (such as hitting
the ground when dropped).
The Sensitivity of HDD Protect threshold slider allows you
to adjust how much gravitational force (or distance fallen)
is required before the system parks the drive heads. Before
