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 workstation 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 suspend the workstation to a sleep state after 30 minutes of inactivity. ● The Power Management feature has been preset to suspend the monitor to a sleep state after 15 minutes of inactivity. Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). when configured with Wake On LAN (WOL) enabled, the workstation can also be woken by a network signal. See the EPA ENERGY STAR Power Management Web site for more information about the energy and financial savings potential of the Power Management Feature: http://www.energystar.gov/ powermanagement. See the EPA ENERGY STAR Web site for more information about the ENERGY STAR program and its environmental benefits: http://www.energystar.gov. CAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with monitors that are not ENERGY STAR qualified can cause video distortion when an Energy Save timeout occurs. NOTE: ENERGY STAR is not supported on Linux workstations. If it is necessary to restore the operating system, you must also reset the ENERGY STAR settings (if applicable) after the restore. To verify the factory default power settings for your workstation, select Start>Control Panel, and then double-click Power Options. Dual- and quad-core processors This HP Workstation supports dual- and quad-core processors that provide two or four true processors in a single socket. Dual- and quad-core processors are better at handling the load of multithreaded applications (such as rendering images in Digital Content Creation) and highly multitasked environments (such as running several productivity applications while listening to music).
