As you lower the stand into place, make sure that the locator pin (see Figure 4) fits into the corner hole of the hole pattern as shown. When
the stand is in place, tighten the thumbscrew.

To remove the stand, turn the computer over so the stand is at the top, loosen the screw, lift the stand away, and place the computer in a horizontal
position.

ENERGY STAR

® Compliance

Certain configurations of Dell computer systems comply with the requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for energy-
efficient computers. If the front panel of your computer bears the ENERGY STAR

® Emblem (see

Figure 5

), your original configuration complied

with these requirements and all ENERGY STAR power management features of the computer are enabled. To disable or change the operation of
these features, you must change the setting for the Power Management option in the System Setup program. For instructions, see "

Using the

System Setup Program

."

 

Figure 5. ENERGY STAR

® Emblem

The EPA's ENERGY STAR

® Computers program is a joint effort between the EPA and computer manufacturers to reduce air pollution by

promoting energy-efficient computer products. The EPA estimates that use of ENERGY STAR

® computer products can save computer users up

to two billion dollars annually in electricity costs. In turn, this reduction in electricity usage can reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, the gas primarily
responsible for the greenhouse effect, and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which are the two primary causes of acid rain.

Computer users can also help to reduce electricity usage and its side effects by turning off their computer systems when they are not in use for
extended periods of time

— particularly at night and on weekends.
