Power Consumption PC and Server PROJECT
Monitor power management (MPM) can save $15 to $32 per monitor annually by
placing your inactive monitors into a low-power sleep mode.
Computer power management (CPM) places inactive computers (CPU, hard drive,
etc.) into a low-power sleep mode, which can save $27 to $47 per desktop computer
annually.

INTRODUCTION
Purpose of Plan
Monitor, Server and PC Power Consumption Project Plan will provide all detail how
to saving power. Today power Consumption is big project for any company try to
saving money for example GE saving nearly 6.5 Million US dollars with Computer
Power Management Features.
“Join hundreds of leading organizations — including Citigroup, Proctor & Gamble, Harvard
University, Ford Motor Company, General Electric, Wal-Mart and BP — that EPA has assisted in
activating MPM. Activating MPM is easy — Fortune 500 IT departments have required less than a
day to implement a solution. Listen to the recent National Public Radio story on MPM.
“With 800 computers, it seemed impossible to find a way to enable all [the monitors] of them in a
timely way. But, EZ Save allowed us to enable the entire network in about one-half day through the
work of just one person. The savings are incredible.” — Stewart Uretsky, Associate Dean and Chief
Financial Officer at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University “

Kill A WATT™
(use for testing power using in LAB, University …)
Connect your appliances into the Kill A Watt™, and assess how efficient they are. A large LCD display counts
consumption by the Kilowatt-hour just like utility companies. You can figure out your electrical expenses by
the hour, day, week, month, even an entire year. Monitor the quality of your power by displaying Voltage, Line
Frequency, and Power Factor.

Look how GE saving 2.5 Million US dollars
(http://www.energystar.gov/ia/products/power_mgt/GE_CPM_Case_Study.pdf)
And North Thurston Public Schools saving $45 000 US Dollars
(http://www.energystar.gov/ia/products/power_mgt/North_Thurston_Case_Study.pdf)
GE use setting:
� Turn off monitor after 15 minutes of inactivity
� Turn off hard drives after 30 minutes
� System Standby after 2 hours
� Hibernation after 3 hours

In my project I try to use 3 best free software for saving power includes:

EZ GPO PM Tool
EZ Save31
EZ_Wizard
All recommend from Energy Star
Feasibility Study:
Business problem:
Solar system may cost high in some area of client. Motherboard still hasn’t available in Australia, some company run
out of stock.
Some other items like PSU (Power Supply) need to order from US so that make delay for project.
Solution:
Solar system will setup not just for running PC but for other system can use solar so that combine whole system will
saving and cut cost down.
Cost Estimate:
Hardware Cost:
Motherboard: PC3500 Via = around $200 to $250
LCD = $319
PSU = $12 + shipping fee.
Cost around = $600
Software Cost:
Free from Energy Star.
Labor Cost:
Installing and testing = $1500/week.

Installation and Testing
Installation:
Testing:
Testing use Kill A WATT™ connect your appliances into the Kill A Watt™, and assess how efficient they
are. A large LCD display counts consumption by the Kilowatt-hour just like utility companies. You can
figure out your electrical expenses by the hour, day, week, month, even an entire year. Monitor the quality
of your power by displaying Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power Factor.
Notice: http://www.viaarena.com already try testing by this device. This device needs to convert 110 V (US)
to 240 V (Australia) for use.
12
Change Control:
This project may take longer to finish due delay from supply also quite new project. So need more time for
installation and testing. Few things will change deadline include:
Order Solar System.
Setup Solar System.
Order PSU from US.
Order Motherboard from Taiwan.
Order Testing device from US.
Convert Volt for testing device.
Change Request Analyst:
Project need 1 or 2 weeks extra time for waiting order.
Project may increase more money in Solar project depend on area for installation.
