DataSite Configuration Settings Utility (DS Settings) 27
Lower the Power Consumption
The options in the Power Enable group allow you to shut the power supply to
some parts of the DataSite controller to lower power consumption.
Follow these steps to lower power consumption.
1. Under Power Enable in the Controller Communication Settings dialog
box, clear the check boxes for the parts that can go to sleep:
• COM1 port
• Ethernet port
• LED indicators
2. Click Download.
The settings are applied to the DataSite controller.
IMPORTANT
If you are still using a port, do not clear its check box under
Power Enable. Otherwise, communication may be
interrupted. For example, when the DataSite controller is
communicating via the Ethernet port, do not shut the
power supply of the Ethernet port.
