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.-----Original Message----- From: Joseph Chiong <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 11:27 PM To: SunRay-Users mailing list <[email protected]> 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. Gerard Martin wrote: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.On 3/17/09 10:34 PM, "Joseph Chiong" <[email protected]> wrote: 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.
