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. 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
SE Control Panel allows you to configure some
of the power management settings that are nor-
mally 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 running on batteries or AC.
ACPI and Windows 98 Second Edition
Short for Advanced Configuration & Power
Interface, a power management specification
developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba.
ACPI, which is part of the Windows 98 SE
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.

Your LifeBook E Series comes with pre-
installed software for playing audio and video
