In response, the Computing and Networking Infrastructure group (CNI) has come up with a way to manage the energy settings on Windows desktop systems. On Tuesday, March 23, the laboratory will begin reducing its power draw (without impacting its mission) by putting Windows desktop computers into standby or sleep mode when they are not in use for long periods of time or not used after work hours. Many computer users already do this themselves both during and after hours, but now the CNI group is going to make the process easier and the results of the power management program measurable.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">The program will work like this: After 5:30 p.m. everyday, if there is no mouse or keyboard activity for 30 minutes on a Windows desktop system, the computer will automatically go into standby mode. The computer can be awakened by either mouse movement or pressing any key on the keyboard. To minimize impact on those who choose to log in to their systems remotely after hours, users will still have offsite access to their computer systems. These users can log in to <a href="https://cc.jlab.org/wakeonlan"><span style="text-decoration: underline ; color: #004fb0">https://cc.jlab.org/wakeonlan</span></a> to wake their systems before attempting to remotely log into their onsite desktop. All systems in standby mode will be awakened for overnight patch installations and virus scans.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; color: rgb(0, 79, 176); "><span style="color: #000000">For more information, visit the website: <a href="http://cc.jlab.org/docs/services/windows/PowerManagement.htm"><span style="text-decoration: underline">http://cc.jlab.org/docs/services/windows/PowerManagement.htm</span></a></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div></body></html>
