According to tests conducted by IST, Hardware Support, tests showed the following. On a Pentium 4, 1.7GH machine:

• during boot power in watts is close to 110w
• during idle, no power management,. close to 60w
• during full power saving, no hard disk spin, machine in sleep mode, 35w

                                                                       

Windows MultiPoint Server 2011

Windows MultiPoint Server is a Windows Server-based operating system using Remote Desktop Services technology to host multiple simultaneous independent computing stations or terminals connected to a single computer.

• The ability to add connect stations and thin clients over the LAN via traditional RDP clients
• Support for RemoteFX capable thin clients.
• A shared management console extensibility with Windows Small Business Server 2011 and Windows Home Server 2011.
• The ability to be backed up by Windows Small Business Server Essentials 2011 (the only server SKU that allows and supports this).
• Features that allow administrators to view and interact with thumbnails of station desktops, including
  • Projecting a single station's desktop to one or all stations^.
  • Locking the keyboard and mouse of station and displaying a message.
  • Remotely opening and/or closing applications.

Adding or removing a Scanner

                    
In computing, an image scanner—often abbreviated to just scanner—is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. 


Adding a Scanner to a Computer
Most of the scanners come with USB port.If the scanner has a universal serial bus (USB) connector, you can typically plug it into your computer and Windows 7 will automatically install the driver that your computer needs, as well as any programs provided by the scanner manufacturer. Some scanners, however, might require you to install software before plugging in the USB connector, while others might require you to turn on the scanner before or during the installation process. To make sure that you install the scanner correctly, check the information that came with the scanner.


Removing a Scanner

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.

To stop using a scanner, you can unplug it from your computer at any time. You don't need to uninstall the driver. If you want to uninstall the driver and any programs that came with the scanner, follow these steps:

1. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. To see scanners that have been added to the computer, double-click Imaging devices.
3. Right-click the scanner name, and then click Uninstall.
