Using the Portable Desktop PC
Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Portable Desktop PC’s thermal state. These
power control cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Portable Desktop PC
should enter these states.
• 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.
Power Savings
The Portable Desktop PC enters Standby mode (low priority) when the system remains idle for a specified
amount of time. The timeout can be set through BIOS setup (lower priority) and Windows power
management (higher priority). To resume system operation, press any key.
