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. 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.

Operating Basics

Details

To open the Details window, click the

Setup Detail

button in the TOSHIBA

HDD Protection Properties window.

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 3D object virtually represents the Computer's internal Hard Disk

Drive. This representation may vary from the actual number of disks,

disk rotation, head movement, part size, shape and direction.

■

This feature may use a large amount of CPU and memory on some

models. The computer may become slow or sluggish when attempting

to run other applications while the 3D Viewer is displayed.

■

Intensely shaking the computer or other subjecting it to strong impacts

may cause damage to the computer.

■

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.
