Dell Inspiron 8500 - Manual (Page 10)

Any changes you make to this configuration (such as installing additional expansion cards or drives) may increase the computer's power consumption beyond
the limits set by the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Computers program.
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, the primary causes of acid rain.
You can also help reduce electricity usage and its side effects by turning off your computer when it is not in use for extended periods of time, particularly at
night and on weekends.

VCCI Notice (Japan Only)
Most Dell computers are classified by the Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) as Class B information technology equipment (ITE). However, the
inclusion of certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A. ITE, including devices, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O)
devices, monitors, and so on, integrated into or connected to the computer should match the electromagnetic environment classification (Class A or B) of the
computer.
To determine which classification applies to your computer, examine the regulatory labels/markings (see "VCCI Class A ITE Regulatory Mark" and "VCCI Class B
ITE Regulatory Mark") located on the bottom, side, or back panel of your computer. Once you have determined your computer's VCCI classification, read the
appropriate VCCI notice.
