Appendix A: Power Consumption
A.1 Power Consumption Reference
Power consumption as follows is based on lab data in which 24V
DC is applied and current is measured by the DC power supply.
The power consumption (W) is calculated as the product of
applied voltage (V) and the current (A). 
Platforms tested for this data have available external I/O inter-
faces, and are attached to supported devices such as VGA/DVI/
LVDS monitor, CF card, PS2 keyboard/mouse, USB dummy load
(5VDC 500mA), external SATA , COM loopback, and audio loop-
back, and an internal hard disk driver is installed.
No internal PCI/PCIe/mini PCIe slots are occupied.
Information is presented for reference only. Actual power con-
sumption will vary with different attached devices and platform
operations.
