P O I N T
The Idle mode and Standby mode fea-
tures described above are only available
in Windows 95 and Windows NT.
Windows 98 has its own integrated
power management features that include
the functionality of those listed above.
Video Timeout
The Video Timeout is one of the power man-
agement parameters which saves power by
turning off the display if there is no keyboard
or pointer activity for the user selected timeout
period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will
cause the display to restart automatically. This
feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button. This parameter is enabled and disabled
in the BIOS setup utility. (See page 108.)

Hard Disk Timeout
The Hard Disk Timeout is one of the power
management parameters which saves power
by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard
drive access for the timeout period which has
been set in the BIOS setup utility. (See page
108.) Any attempt to access the hard drive will
cause the hard drive to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/
Resume button. This parameter is enabled and
disabled in the BIOS setup utility.
Windows Power Management
Control Panels
The Power Management icon in the Windows 98
Control Panel allows you to configure some of
the power management settings that are normal-
ly controlled by the BIOS. For instance, you can
set timeout values in the Power Management
Control Panel for turning off the display and for
turning off hard disks. You can specify these
timeout values based on whether you are run-
ning on batteries or AC.
L i f e B o o k E S e r i e s f r o m F u j i t s u
The Power icon in the Windows 95 Control
Panel will allow you to set timeout values for
the hard drive only.
ACPI and Windows 98
Short for Advanced Configuration & Power
Interface, a power management specification
developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba.
ACPI, which is part of the Windows 98
operating system, enables the operating system
to control the amount of power given to each
device attached to the computer. With ACPI,
the operating system can turn off peripheral
devices, such as CD-ROM players, when they
are not in use.
Due to ongoing industry development of
ACPI technology, we have configured your
LifeBook E Series notebook to APM
(Advanced Power Management) mode.
