1-20 Dell® 800F Series, 828FI Monitor User’s Guide
the computer cover can be removed and replaced by hand. This snap-together capability
both simplifies upgrade procedures and facilitates disposal or reuse of the unit and/or its
components (see “Dell’s Green Away Program” found later in this document).
NOTE: Because monitors and keyboards have a potentially long life and are interchangeable
for many systems, customers do not upgrade or replace these components as often as
they replace their computers. Therefore, disposal of these components it not an issue as
often.
Design for Recyclability
Your Dell equipment complies with the following principles of recyclable design:
•Avoidance of nonseparable connections, such as gluing and welding, between differ-
ent materials
•Avoidance of coatings and composite structure materials
•Use of as few different materials as possible
•Designed for ease of disassembly:
— Subassemblies, cables, and components easily detachable by one person work-
ing alone
— Minimal use of screws
— Most disassembly can be done by hand or with the aid of a standard 6-millimeter
(1/4-inch) nut driver only
Design for Reduced Power Consumption
Both your system and your monitor are equipped with an energy-saving sleep mode that
can be set to activate automatically after a certain period of system or monitor inactivity. In
sleep mode, the system and monitor use the minimum amount of power that will maintain
operational data and parameters. Refer to “Power Consumption” found later in this docu-
ment for details of your equipment power consumption.
NOTE: Zero power consumption can be attained only when the system and monitor are
completely disconnected from the alternating current (AC) power source.
Dell’s Blue Angel Disposal Program
Rapid technological advances lead to a high turnover in computer products, as customers
upgrade or replace their systems at an ever-increasing rate. To address the mounting prob-
lem regarding the indiscriminate disposal of unwanted products, and in anticipation of
future legislation, Dell has instituted a disposal program, called Green Away, for the collec-
tion and disposal of these products.
