That's in fact what I do at home.
I have also seen in some offices a motion/IR/heat detector over each desk and when no-one's sitting there, all the power to the desk gets turned off. Neat.

How about putting a power strip with an on/off switch behind the 270 and plugging in to that? Other than that, they would have to pull the adapter out of the unit.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Power off Sun Ray DTU

Hi Gerald,

My 270 screen is turned off similar to yours. However, the customer has a policy of powering off the desktop at the end of business day. Turning off the screen is not considered a power off for them. Anyway thanks for the explanation.



Thanks.

The way it was explained to me in (Sun Ray class) is that in order for the DTU to be considered an appliance it could not have an on/off switch. I don't know why Sun wanted it to be an appliance, but that's the explanation I got.

My 270s turn their screens off after a period of inactivity, so it's not been an issue for me. Are yours not doing that? I'm willing to bet that with the screen off the 270 consumes 7-10 watts, much like a 2/2FS.

    Dear Sun Ray Users,

    Any idea how to power off the Sun Ray 270 DTU to save energy? It
    is kind of odd to exclude a power button on the DTU.



    Thanks.
