4.2 Always-Aware Applications
*Always-Aware feature is only available on i1520N
The Always-Aware applications add new capabilities to the
notebook by sensing notebook motion. The applications
use an accelerometer within the notebook to detect motion.
The applications include: SmartDisk and SmartAlarm.
Smart Disk
The application protects the notebook HDD from damage caused
by sudden harmful notebook shocks. It monitors system movements
that exceed the defined shock threshold. Once a shock is detected
above the threshold, the application instructs the HDD to temporarily
park it’s heads which protects against potential damage the drive.
When the notebook motion stabilizes the heads are then un-parked.
Smart Alarm
The feature attempts to assist the user in detection of unwanted
movement of the notebook. The user can arm the Alarm feature in
conjunction with their locking of their system, logging off lock or via
a dedicated key sequence. Once armed the user must then disarm
the alarm through standard Windows logon process. Notebook
movement detected prior to disarm will cause an audio alarm to
sound.
To configure the Always-Aware Alarm settings double click the
taskbar icon or open the context menu (right mouse button)
associated with the taskbar icon and select Open....This will open
the Always-Aware Alarm settings dialog, the Configuration tab will
be shown. If the taskbar icon is not showing start the service by
