I have been enjoying my pair of SB3s for quite some time without thinking about the energy costs (financial and environmental) of running an old PC 24/7/365 to act as a dedicated server. Now I want to do something about it, and wondered what options people have employed successfully.
Some ideas of my own, that I have implemented or tried to: 1) Underclock the PC CPU and Memory in the BIOS 2) Remove unwanted hardware such as graphics accelerators (since the machine is running headless) 3) Auto standby after some hours of inactivity I would really like to combine #3 with Wakeup on LAN, but I couldn't get that to work (yet). Does the the firmware that comes with SC 7.0 still support the WOL magic packet? Do other people have different ideas that they could share here? It may help a few people and save a few mega Joules of energy aggregated over the SD community :-) --Dsdreamer -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46780 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
