Certain configurations of Dell computer systems comply with the requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for energy-efficient computers. If the front panel of your computer bears the Energy Star Emblem (see Figure 1-4), your original configuration complied with these requirements and all Energy Star power management features of the computer are enabled. To disable or change the opera- tion of these features, you must change the setting for the Power Management category in the System Setup program. For instructions, see Chapter 2, “Using the System Setup Program.”

NOTES: As an Energy Star Partner, Dell Computer Corporation has determined that this product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

Any Dell computer bearing the Energy Star Emblem is certified to comply with EPA Energy Star requirements as configured when shipped by Dell. Any changes you make to this configuration (such as installing additional expansion cards or drives) may increase the system’s power consumption beyond the limits set by the EPA’s Energy Star Computers program.

The EPA’s Energy Star Computers program is a joint effort between the EPA and com- puter manufacturers to reduce air pollution by promoting energy-efficient computer products. The EPA estimates that use of Energy Star computer products can save computer users up to two billion dollars annually in electricity costs. In turn, this reduction in electricity usage can reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, the gas prima- rily responsible for the greenhouse effect, and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which are the two primary causes of acid rain.

Computer users can also help to reduce electricity usage and its side effects by turn- ing off their computer systems when they are not in use for extended periods of time—particularly at night and on weekends.
