Division II Workstations: Below is a sample PTEC calculation for a Workstation with two hard drives.

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. 1..

    Measure values using the Appendix A test procedure.

    • Off = 2 W

    • Sleep = 4 W

    • Idle = 80 W

    • Max Power = 180 W

  2. 2..

    Note number of Hard Drives installed.

    • Two hard drives installed during test.

  3. 3..

    Apply Weightings based on Table 4 to calculate PTEC:

    • Table 4:

      Toff35 %
      Tsleep10 %
      Tidle55 %
    • P TEC = 0.35 · P off + 0.10 · P sleep + 0.55 · P idle
    • = 0.35 · 2 + 0.10 · 4 + 0.55 · 80
    • = 45.10 W

  4. 4..

    Calculate the PTEC requirement using the formula in Table 3.

    • P TEC = 0.28 · P max + # HDD · 5
    • P TEC = 0.28 · 180 + 2 · 5
    • PTEC = 53.2

  5. 5..

    Compare the adjusted PTEC to the ENERGY STAR levels to determine if the model qualifies.

    • 45.10 < 53.2

    Workstation meets the ENERGY STAR requirements.
