This feature automatically turns power to the
computer off when the display panel is closed,
and turns it back on when the display panel is
opened. This can be specified in the Power
Options.

To protect from overheating, the CPU has an
internal temperature sensor. If the computer’s
internal temperature rises to a certain level, the
cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed
is lowered. This can be specified in the Power
Options.
If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with
either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any
damage - in this instance any unsaved data in memory will be lost.
TOSHIBA HDD
Protection
This feature uses the acceleration sensor built in
the computer to detect vibration and shocks, and
automatically moves the hard disk drive's
read/write head to a safe position in order 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 more details.
The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the
hard disk drive will not be damaged.
During audio/video playback, when the computer detects a shock or
vibration and the hard disk drive's head is parked, the playback might
be temporarily interrupted.
TOSHIBA HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped
with SSD.
