HARD DRIVE
The internal hard drive capacity is dependent
on which model you are using. See Appendix
A (pages 170–177) for model information. If
you are using the optional second hard drive for
the first time since you installed it, you can get
your notebook to recognize it by opening the
Windows 95 Control Panel and opening Add
New Hardware which will step you through
the process of having Windows look for your
newly installed device.

ted (initi a l i zed) at the factory. You do not need

POWER MANAGEMENT
Your LifeBook 700 Series has many features for
conserving power. Some power savings features
are automatic and have no user control, such
as those for the internal modem, while others
depend on the parameters you set to best suit
your operating conditions. Other power saving
features turn the display brightness down, limit
the use of high power devices, activate an
appropriate power savings profile, and put your
notebook in Suspend mode when not actually
performing an operation. As with all mobile,
battery-powered computers,there is a trade-off
between performance and power savings.
Internal power management for your notebook
is controlled from settings made in the BIOS
setup utility, the PowerPanel by Phoenix
Technologies,and the Windows 95 Control
