Information about ENERGY STAR

- The ENERGY STAR Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories.

- One way products achieve this is by reducing power consumption when not being used through the Microsoft Windows® Power Management feature.

- The Power Management feature allows the computer to enter into a low-power or “sleep” mode after a period of user inactivity.

Trigem computers marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are compliant with the applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR specifications for computers. The EPA ENERGY STAR Logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Trigem Computer (AVERATEC) has determined the products marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are ENERGY STAR qualified as per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

When used with an external ENERGY STAR compliant monitor, this feature will also support similar power management features of the monitor. To take advantage of this energy savings:

• The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer after 20 minutes of user inactivity.

• The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the monitor after 10 minutes of user inactivity.

• Power Management Status of Product
