Use this to turn the power of the optical disc drive
on or off. Clicking on the Optical Drive Power icon
in the taskbar will turn the power to the optical
disc drive on or off. If the Optical Drive Power is
set to off, the disc tray will not open even if the
eject button is pushed - in this instance the power
to the drive can be turned on by again clicking the
Optical Drive Power icon.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the
computer, the TOSHIBA HDD Protection function
detects vibrations and shocks, and automatically
moves the hard disk drive's read/write head to a
safe position 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,
details.
This feature lets you turn off the power without
exiting from your software. The contents of main
memory are saved to the hard disk so that when
you next turn the power on again, you can
continue working right where you left off. Refer to
the Turning on the power
Getting Started, for details.
If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off
the power without exiting from your software.
Data is maintained in the computer's main
memory. When you turn on the power again, you
can continue working right where you left off.

program, click start, click Control Panel, click
