(FUJITSU Thin Client FUTRO only)", Pa ge 28, on the Recovery DVD or on our website

The following sections apply to the FUJITSU Thin Client FUTRO only:
Information about the "Eco-de sign directive": Regulation 1275/2008, based on the EU Eco-design
Directive (2009/125/EU), defines requirements for the power consumption of electrical and
electronic domestic and office de vices in stand-by an d off mode.
In general, all FUTRO thin client products have been developed for energy-efficient operation and low
stand-by losses. Customer-specific requirements and requirements of the operating system, which
are a priority for optimal operation, can contradict the requirements of the above-mentioned regulation.
For administrative purposes, such as remote maintenance of systems, the "Wake-on-LAN" (WoL)
function is indispensable for our cu stomers and is therefore a default setting. When the WoL
function is active, the maximum permissible power d raw can be exceeded slightly in OFF mode. By
deactivating the WoL function, it is possible to comp ly with the legal r equirement s. Please see chapter
"
Activating power saving mode (FUJITSU Thin Client FUTRO on ly)", Page 28 for the procedure.
The energy saving mode (ACPI S4 Save-to-disk), which is familiar from many current mobile
and desktop systems, is not a vailable in the embedded operating systems fo r technical reasons.
Therefore, it is not possible to switch devices with this operating system automatically into Off mode.
The operating system of a thin client is stored on a flash memory with optimised size and is provided
with write protection after configuration has been completed by the customer. This prevents data
security from being put a t risk through frequent writing to a flash memory, such as w hen updating
the swap files in the op erating system or through other applications. Every flash memory permits
only a limited number of write cycles. Both the activated write protection and the available limited
flash memory capacity rule out the po ssibility of activating energy saving mode (ACPI S4).
