The next time you reboot the computer, the previous boot order is restored.
System and Battery Performance
Optimization
System Performance Overview
System performance may be reduced under specific conditions to prevent
automatic system shutdown and potential data loss. Conditions under
which performance is reduced include:
P
R O C E S S O R GE T S H O T
— Performance is reduced when system temperature
exceeds established thermal parameters. This performance reduction helps to
regulate the system and surface temperatures, which prevents the computer from
shutting down due to excessive processor temperatures.
AC A
D A PT ER T HR O U GH P UT
— Performance is reduced when the computer is
running on AC power and power consumption exceeds the established parameters of
the AC Adapter. This performance reduction ensures that the system does not try to
consume more power than the AC adapter can provide.
