Fit-PC4 Value power consumption / linux tuning
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2014 10:45 am
I have the value version of fit-pc4 running Ubuntu with a msata SSD, one RAM module, one ethernet connection, radio disabled.
I see power consumption of about:
From the data sheet I was expecting an active power consumption roughly between 5 and 8 W. What is to be expected? Is there anything else to be configured?
Why is there a difference between just plugged in and powered down?
I see power consumption of about:
- < 0,2 W power supply only
- 3,8 W fit-pc4 connected to power only, but not powered on (all LEDs off)
- 8-11 W fit-pc powered on
- 2,5 W powered down (green front Led lit)
