The power consumption and acoustics figures given in the table above are valid for the standard configuration as shipped. For more information, refer to the product’s data sheet at HP’s web site: www.hp.com/desktops. When the computer is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power consumption falls below 10W, but it is not zero. The special on/off method used by this computers considerably extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power consumption in “off” mode, either unplug the power outlet or use a power block with a switch.
