1.4 Power Consumption Power consumption is based on lab data in which 12V 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 interfaces and are attached to supported devices such as keyboard/mouse, USB dummy load, COM loop- back, LAN port, and with an internal SSD driver installed.
