Here's how we've been encouraging participation in the UNH computer power management program. Many thanks to Computing and Information Services (CIS) for their work on this program!
1. CIS asks all purchasers of new computers from the UNH Computer Store if they would like power managment activated as part of the network setup on their new machine. From October through March, CIS activated power management on 282 new computers with this method.
2. CIS asks all customers bringing computers in for repair if they would like power management activated as part of the repair process. From October through March, CIS activated power management on 506 computers with this method.
3. We ran a contest drawing with two Palm Pilots as prizes last fall. Approximately 300 members of the UNH community voluntarily activated power management on their computers as part of that contest.
4. Power management has been activated in all computers in CIS-operated and College for Lifelong Learning computer clusters.
5. Information Technology Liasons (ITL's) in the Business Service Centers (BSC's) received training on activating power management and were encouraged to activate power management on all BSC computers.
6. Several UNH departments activated power management on all departmental computers. Many thanks to Hospitality Services and Health Services for their outstanding participation in this area.
We estimate that approximately 2,000 computers now have power management activated as a result of this program.
Please join us in this effort to reach our 5,000 computer goal. CLICK HERE for instructions to activate power management on YOUR computer!
