15. EuP steht für Energy Using Product und kennzeichnet die ÖkodesignRichtlinie, die von der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zur Festlegung des
Energieverbrauchs von vollständigen Systemen in Kraft gesetzt wurde.
Gemäß dieser Ökodesign-Richtlinie (EuP) muss der gesamte
Netzstromverbrauch von vollständigen Systemen unter 1,00 Watt liegen,
wenn sie ausgeschaltet sind. Um dem EuP-Standard zu entsprechen, sind
ein EuP-fähiges Motherboard und eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung
erforderlich. Gemäß einer Empfehlung von Intel muss eine EuP-fähige
Stromversorgung dem Standard entsprechen, was bedeutet, dass bei einem
Stromverbrauch von 100 mA die 5-Volt-Standby-Energieeffizienz höher als
50% sein sollte. Für die Wahl einer EuP-fähigen Stromversorgung
empfehlen wir Ihnen, weitere Details beim Hersteller der Stromversorgung
abzufragen.
