ENERGY STAR® compliance

As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has followed the EPA’s enhanced product qualification and certification process to ensure that the products marked with the ENERGY STAR logo are ENERGY STAR qualified per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. The following logo appears on all ENERGY STAR-qualified computers:

The ENERGY STAR program for computers 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 that products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft® Windows® power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use.

The power management feature allows the computer to initiate a low-power or “Sleep” mode after a period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR qualified monitor, this feature also supports similar power management features of the monitor. To take advantage of these potential energy savings, the power management feature has been preset to behave in the following ways when the system is operating on AC power:

Turn off the display after <= 15 minutes (varies by model)

●

Initiate Sleep after <= 30 minutes (varies by model)

●

The computer exits Sleep when the power/Sleep button is pressed. When the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature is enabled, the computer can also exit Sleep in response to a network signal.

Additional information on the potential energy and financial savings of the power management feature can be found on the EPA ENERGY STAR Power Management Web site at

http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement.
