4 Using the Notebook PC

Thermal Power Control

There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state. These power

control cannot be congured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter

these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU).

• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit.

• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit.

• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe upper

limit.
