panel. If no settings have been made in the
PowerPanel or Windows 95 Control panel then
the BIOS settings will be used. The PowerPanel
and Windows 95 Control panel have been
pre-set at the factory and will be active unless
you disable them. Complete descriptions of the
BIOS setup utility parameters are found in
Section Three of this guide. Power management
parameters are covered under the Power
Savings menu. (See pages 95-100.)
Some particular power parameters are only
available for setup from one of these places,
others can be changed in any one of them.
ACPI
Short for Advanced Configuration & Power
Interface,a power management specification
developed by Intel, Microsoft,and Toshiba.
ACPI, which will be 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. The LifeBook 700 Series note-
book computers have built in BIOS support for
the ACPI 1.0 standard,and will be able to take
advantage of this functionality in Windows 98.
ACPI support is enabled in the BIOS set-up
utility as described in Section Three of this
guide. (See pages 87-88).
Using the Suspend/Resume Button
When your notebook is active,the Suspend/
Resume button, (Figure 1-6 on page 6), can be
used to manually put your notebook into
Suspend mode, or into Save-to-Disk mode.
Push the Suspend/Resume button, when your
notebook is active but no Access indicators are
on,and hold it in until it is acknowledged by
activation of the selected mode. Which mode is
activated is determined by the settings of the
BIOS setup utility Power Savings menu. The
default is Suspend mode. (See page 95 for how
to select Save-to-Disk mode.)
If your notebook is suspended,pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your note-
book to active operation at the point where it
went into suspension. The Suspend/Resume
button is located next to the Status Indicator
panel above the keyboard of your notebook.
(Figure 2-14.) You can tell whether or not your
system is in Suspend mode by looking at the
Power indicator. (See pages 19-20.) If it is visible
and not flashing, your notebook is fully opera-
tional. If it is visible and flashing, your note-
book is in Suspend mode. If it is not visible,
the power is Off,the power is in the Windows
95 pseudo-off state, or your notebook is in
