Division C Power Management Requirements

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.)	√
Wake on LAN (WOL)	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.

		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.

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.
