Terminal servers

Enable each server’s Cool ’n’ Quiet and/or SpeedStep functionality so that processing power is conserved.

Enforce auto-shutdown routines on all four servers for after-hours power saving while the office is closed.

Consolidate the four servers onto the best two，combining them logically by tasks and memory consumption.

Consolidate the four servers onto the most powerful machine using virtualization.

Power consumption；thin clients use more energy than comparable workstations and therefore have a larger energy footprint.

Single point of failure；if the thin client server goes down all machines are without functionality.

Centralized administration；IT staff cannot rely on localized group policy settings.

High cost of terminals；compared to traditional workstations，thin clients are very expensive and require more maintenance.

CRT

Toner

Surge suppressor

LCD

Configure all workstations with higher RPM fans

Use CRTs instead of LCD monitors

Use NAS to reduce the number of file servers

Configure all printers to print on single-side with low resolution

Use an approved recycling program either through a vendor or local government agency.

Old toner disposal is the responsibility of the manufacturer. Call the appropriate number at the respective company.

Toss the units into the trash. Toner cartridges are biodegradable.

Clean out the toner cartridges with warm water and place the clean units into the recycling collection.

Set the computers for automatic log-off after one hour of inactivity.

Institute a policy of either shutdown or sleep mode an hour after close.

Turn on the Wake on LAN functionality for all computers.

Schedule all patching to be done during work hours.
