HP Workstation xw4200 Power Consumption and Cooling
NOTE When you turn off your workstation with the power button on the front panel, the power
consumption falls below 10 W. To reach zero power consumption, either unplug the workstation from the
power outlet or use a power strip with a switch. However, removing all power to the workstation might
reduce the life of the real-time clock battery.
For more information on power-saving features, refer to your operating system documentation.
System Fans and Airflow
Chapter 1
The workstation includes a rear system fan, one processor heatsink fan, plus an optional front system
fan.
Resetting the Power Supply
If an overload triggers the power supply overload protection, all power is immediately cut. To reset the
power supply unit:
1 Disconnect the power cord.
2 Determine what caused the overload, and fix the problem.
3 Reconnect the power cord and reboot the workstation.
POWER SUPPLY AND COOLING 23
ENERGY STAR
The ENERGY STAR® program, a government-backed initiative, promotes energy efficiency by
identifying ways to reduce energy consumption. Select HP workstations participate in the ENERGY
STAR program.
NOTE ENERGY STAR is not supported on Linux-based workstations.
For those workstations that support ENERGY STAR and have it enabled, the power management
features will be set as follows:
Monitor—goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of inactivity.
System—goes into Standby mode after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Hard Drive—goes into Power Savings mode after the system goes into Standby mode.
NOTE If you must restore the operating system, reset the ENERGY STAR settings (if applicable).
To verify the factory default power settings for your product:
From the Windows 2000 or Windows XP Classic Start menu, select Start>Settings>Control
Panel>Power Options.
From the Windows XP standard Start menu, select Start>Control Panel>Performance and
Maintenance>Power Options.
24 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
ENERGY STAR Compliance
HP products purchased with the ENERGY STAR configuration are compliant with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR Computers Program. The EPA ENERGY STAR
configuration does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, HP has
determined that products with the ENERGY STAR configuration meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines
for energy efficiency.
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. HP
products achieve this by reducing the power consumption when not being used.
ENERGY STAR on HP Workstations uses ACPI power management. The system can wake as a result
of a user action (keyboard or mouse) or from the network or a modem.
The Power Management feature, when used in conjunction with an external ENERGY STAR-compliant
monitor, will support the power-down features of the monitor. The Power Management feature allows an
external monitor to go into low-power mode when the energy save timeout occurs.
CAUTION Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non-ENERGY STAR compliant monitors might
cause video distortion when the Energy Save timeout occurs.
Hyper-Threading Technology
Hyper-Threading Technology is a high-performance technology, developed by Intel®, that enables a
single processor to execute multiple threads of instructions simultaneously. Hyper-Threading Technology
enables the processor to utilize its execution resources more efficiently, delivering performance
increases and improving user productivity. Not all systems benefit from the Hyper-Threading Technology.
To see if Hyper-Threading Technology can benefit you, test your system by turning the feature on.
Computer Setup (F10) can be used to turn this feature on. To do this, run F10 Setup during boot up and
select Advanced>Device Options>Hyper-Threading, and enable the Hyper-Threading Technology.
NOTE If your workstation does not support Hyper-Threading Technology, the Hyper-Threading menu
item will not be available on the Computer Setup menu.
NOTE The Hyper-Threading Technology is recommended for use with Windows XP systems. This
technology is detected by the system and is turned on in the operating system after it is enabled in the
system BIOS.
Chapter 1
NOTE Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3 supports Hyper-Threading Technology. An SMP-capable kernel
must be installed on your system before this technology can be utilized.
