524 Using the Notebook PCPower Management ModesThe Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand. These low power modes are referred to as “Stand by” (or Suspend-to-RAM) and ´+LEHUQDWLRQµPRGHRU6XVSHQGWR'LVN67'7KH6WDQGE\PRGHLVDVLPSOHIXQFWLRQSURYLGHGE\WKHoperating system.

544 Using the Notebook PC“Stand by” is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your current data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. To operate: select “Start” | “Shut down”, and “Stand by”.“Hibernate” LV WKH VDPH DV  6XVSHQGWR'LVN 67' DQGstores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered. “Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Stand by”. To operate: Enable hibernation in “Power Options” and select “Start” | “Shut down”, and “Hibernate”.Stand by and HibernatePower management settings can be found in the Windows control panel. The following shows the power RSWLRQVSURSHUWLHVLQ:LQGRZV<RXFDQGHÀQH´6WDQG%\µRU´6KXWGRZQµIRUFORVLQJWKHGLVSOD\SDQHOpressing the power button, or activating sleep mode. “Stand by” and “Hibernate” saves power when your Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. “Shut down” will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not saved.

57Using the Notebook PC 4Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (on selected models)The TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a security hardware device on the system board that will hold computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that an help avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data. The TPM provides the abil-ity to the PC or notebook to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy. The security features provided by the TPM are internally supported by the following cryptographic capa-bilities of each TPM: hashing, random number generation, asymmetric key generation, and asymmetric encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM on each individual computer system has a unique signature initialized during the silicon manufacturing process that further enhances its trust/security effectiveness. Each individual TPM must have an Owner before it is useful as a security device. TPM ApplicationsTPM is useful for any customer that is interested in providing an addition layer of security to the com-puter system.
