Energy Star Compliance

Safety & Regulatory Notices

Compaq Deskpro Workstations, Compaq Evo™ Desktops, and Compaq Evo Workstations marked with the Energy Star Logo are compliant with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star Computers Program. The EPA Energy Star Logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an Energy Star Partner, Compaq Computer Corporation has determined the products marked with the Energy Star Logo meet the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

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. Compaq products achieve this by reducing the power consumption when not being used. Instructions for using the energy saving features of your computer are located in the “Power Management” section of the Desktop Management Guide.

The power management feature of your computer is compatible with any network operating system or environment that supports APM1.2. This means the users in those environments will not be disconnected from the network during the low-power operating state.

The Power Management feature, when used in conjunction with an external Energy Star compliant monitor, will support the power-down features of the monitor. The Power Management feature allows an external monitor to go into low-power mode when the energy save timeout occurs. To take advantage of this energy savings, the monitor Power Management feature has been preset to power down the monitor after 15 minutes of system inactivity. Refer to the “Power Management” section of the Desktop Management Guide for instructions on modifying or disabling this feature.

ÄCAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non–Energy Star compliant monitors may cause video distortion when the Energy Save timeout occurs.
