IBM N2800e manual Communication hardware, Monitor specifications, Power consumption

Communication hardware

Your N2800e Thin Client Express includes an integrated Ethernet connection.

For a 10 Megabit (Mb) line speed operation, you need a category 3 or higher Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) type of cable. For a 100 Mb line speed operation, you need a category 5 UTP type of cable.

Refer to “Appendix G. Connector pin information” on page 59 for communication cable specifications.

Monitor specifications

A basic video graphics adapter (VGA) class monitor that meets the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standards of refresh rate and resolution functions with the N2800e Thin Client Express. The N2800e Thin Client Express can support VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) and VESA Display Data Channel (DDC2B).

Refer to “Appendix F. Monitor specifications” on page 57 for a list of resolutions and refresh rates that the N2800e Thin Client Express can support. Your monitor may not support all resolutions and refresh rates.

Power consumption

Normal power consumption for the thin client, while running applications, ranges from 24 to 28 Watts. During periods of inactivity, the system switches into the suspend state, and power consumption reduces to approximately 18 Watts. Once the system enters the soft-off state, power consumption reduces to approximately 10 Watts.

Note: Power consumption may fluctuate or vary from these values, depending on the voltage selection (115V or 230V) of the thin client.

Display monitor power reduction occurs when you use the N2800e Thin Client

Express with a VESA DPMS Standard monitor.

As an Energy Star Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the Energy Star Program guidelines for energy efficiency.

Upgrading hardware features

You can perform the following hardware procedures:

vInstall PCI adapter cards for PCI devices

vReplace a CompactFlash card

vConnect USB devices

If you plan to use peripheral USB devices with your N2800e Thin Client Express, refer to the documentation for your peripheral USB devices for information.

vUpgrade your memory

The N2800e Thin Client Express has tworandom access memory (RAM) slots that accepts Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). The N2800e Thin Client Express includes 64 MB of RAM, and supports memory expansions of up to 256 MB. You can
