# Commission Decision of 16 June 2009 determining the Community position for a decision of the Management entities under the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the European Community on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment on the revision of the computer specifications in Annex C, part VIII, to the Agreement (Text with EEA relevance) (2009/489/EC), Division C: Power Management Requirements

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Products must meet the power management requirements detailed in Table 8, below, and be tested as shipped.
Table 8
Power Management Requirements
Specification Requirement
Applicable to
Shipment Requirements
Sleep Mode
Shipped with a Sleep mode which is set to activate within 30 minutes of user inactivity. Computers shall reduce the speed of any active 1 Gb/s Ethernet network links when transitioning to Sleep or Off.
Desktop Computers
Integrated Desktop Computers
Notebook Computers
Workstations
Small-Scale Servers
Thin Clients
Display Sleep Mode
Shipped with the display’s Sleep mode set to activate within 15 minutes of user inactivity.
Desktop Computers
Integrated Desktop Computers
Notebook Computers
Workstations
Small-Scale Servers (if computer display is present)
Thin Clients
Network Requirements for Power Management
Wake on LAN (WOL)
Computers with Ethernet capability shall have the ability to enable and disable WOL for Sleep mode.
Desktop Computers
Integrated Desktop Computers
Notebook Computers
Workstations
Small-Scale Servers
Thin Clients (Only applies if software updates from the centrally managed network are conducted while the unit is in sleep or off mode. Thin Clients whose standard framework for upgrading client software does not require off-hours scheduling are exempt from the requirement.)
Applies to computers shipped through Enterprise Channels, only:
Computers with Ethernet capability must meet one of the following requirements:
be shipped with Wake On LAN (WOL) enabled from the Sleep mode when operating on AC power (i.e. notebooks may automatically disable WOL when disconnected from the mains); or
provide control to enable WOL that is sufficiently-accessible from both the client operating system user interface and over the network if computer is shipped to enterprise without WOL enabled.
Desktop Computers
Integrated Desktop Computers
Notebook Computers
Workstations
Small-Scale Servers
Thin Clients (Only applies if software updates from the centrally managed network are conducted while the unit is in sleep or off mode. Thin Clients whose standard framework for upgrading client software does not require off-hours scheduling are exempt from the requirement.)
Wake Management
Applies to computers shipped through Enterprise Channels, only:
Computers with Ethernet capability shall be capable of both remote (via network) and scheduled wake events from Sleep mode (e.g. Real Time Clock).
Manufacturers shall ensure, where the manufacturer has control (i.e. configured through hardware settings rather than software settings), that these settings can be managed centrally, as the client wishes, with tools provided by the manufacturer.
Desktop Computers
Integrated Desktop Computers
Notebook Computers
Workstations
Small-Scale Servers
Thin Clients
For all computers with WOL enabled, any directed packet filters shall be enabled and set to an industry standard default configuration. Until one (or more) standards are agreed upon, partners are asked to provide their direct packet filter configurations to the EPA and the European Commission for publication on the website to stimulate discussion and development of standard configurations.
