Information about ENERGY STAR

- 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 is by reducing power consumption when not being used through the Microsoft Windows®

Power Management feature.

- The Power Management feature allows the computer to enter into a low-power or “sleep” mode after a period of user

inactivity.

Trigem computers marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are compliant with the applicable U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR specifications for computers. The EPA ENERGY STAR Logo

does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Trigem Computer (AVERATEC) has

determined the products marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are ENERGY STAR qualified as per the

applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

When used with an external ENERGY STAR compliant monitor, this feature will also support similar power management

features of the monitor. To take advantage of this energy savings:

• The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer after 20 minutes of user inactivity.

• The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the monitor after 10 minutes of user inactivity.

• Power Management Status of Product

Before You Start

- Both the computer and monitor can be woken from “sleep” mode through user interaction with any of the computer’s

input devices (ex: mouse, keyboard, etc).

- When configured with Wake On LAN (WOL) enabled, the computer can also be awoken by a network signal.

More information on the energy and financial savings potential of the Power Management Feature can be found at the

EPA’s ENERGY STAR Power Management Web site :
