Energy Saving Functions; Hard Disk - Fujitsu Siemens Computers AMILO A1650G Operating Manual

Energy saving functions

The notebook uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be
able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
If you are connected to a network or use an integrated modem, PC LAN card, or PC
i
modem card, we advise against enabling an energy saving mode. This could lead to an
interruption of your network connection.
When not using the notebook for long periods of time, first end the energy saving mode,
then switch off the notebook. Never switch the notebook off with the Suspend/Resume
button while the notebook is in one of the energy-saving modes.
If your notebook is in an energy-saving mode:
•
Do not connect any external devices.
•
Do not disconnect any external devices.
•
Do not attempt to switch the notebook on if the built-in battery is flat.
•
Do not change or remove the floppy disk, if inserted.
•
Do not add or remove RAM.
•
Do not add or remove a PC card.
The operating system uses ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power
management under Windows XP. The energy saving functions can be activated under Start - Settings
- Control Panel - Power Options.
Under Windows, Hibernate is activated by default.

Hard disk

The hard disk is the most important storage medium of your notebook. You can work considerably
faster and more efficiently if you copy applications and files from floppy disks and/or CDs to your
hard disk.
When the hard disk is accessed, the hard disk indicator lights up.
