hp x1100 technical characteristics
1. the measured input power for this workstation was determined by using a typical configuration for your workstation. this configuration consists of a: 2.2ghz, 512kb cache pentium 4 processor, 18gb scsi hard disk drive, nvidia quadro2 pro graphics card, 512mb ddr sdram and 48×cd drive.
1、operating temperature and humidity ranges may vary depending on the mass storage devices installed. high humidity levels can cause improper operation of disk drives. low humidity can aggravate static electricity problems and cause excessive wear of the disk surface. 2、power consumption is valid for a standard configuration. for other configurations, go to:
www.hp.com/workstations
when the computer is turned off by the power button on the front panel, the power consumption falls below 3w, but is not zero. this on/off method extends the life of the power supply. to reach zero power consumption in "off" mode, either unplug the power outlet or use a power distribution unit with a switch. when the power consumption is zero for an extended period of time, the life of the internal battery is shortened.
