ENERGY STAR qualification (select models only) NOTE: This section applies only to products bearing the Energy Star logo. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has followed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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 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 energy efficiency is by reducing power consumption when not being used through the Microsoft Windows Power Management feature. The Power Management feature enables the computer to enter a low-power (or "sleep") mode after a period of inactivity. When used with an external monitor that is ENERGY STAR-qualified, this feature also supports the similar power management features of the external monitor. To take advantage of this energy savings, the Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer and monitor after the following specified periods of inactivity: Business Desktops Consumer Desktops Thin Clients Workstations Operating System Windows XP, Vista, and 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 Computer 20 minutes Never 20 minutes Not applicable 30 minutes Monitor 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 15 minutes Environmental agency notices 19
