Access Connections

Access Connections™ is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location profiles. Each
location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network
infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and
easily connect to a network with no need to reconfigure your settings manually and restart the computer
each time.
To open the Access Connections program, do the following:
• For Windows 7: See "Accessing applications in Windows 7" on page 23.
• For Windows Vista and Windows XP: Click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Access
Connections.

Active Protection System

The Active Protection System protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your computer
detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The hard
disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating; so the system stops it from spinning, and
may also move the read/write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock
sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it
turns the hard disk drive on.
To open Active Protection System, do the following:
• For Windows 7: See "Accessing applications in Windows 7" on page 23.
