Power Conservation
This computer consumes much less power than conventional computers; however,
power consumption may be reduced by properly configuring the Power
Management Setups.
It is recommended that the power saving functions be enabled even when not
running on battery power.
Power Management generally does not degrade system performance while saving
power.
Material Safety and Recycling
All materials used in the construction of this unit are recyclable or
environmentally friendly. No CFC or related materials were used in the
manufacturing process or inside the product.
Please recycle the packing materials, and at the end of the computer's life, all other
materials in accordance with the local regulations.
Please refer “Material and Recycling” for the contents of the materials.
