For the emerging large network equipment (LNE) Energy Star specification , the U.S. EPA and DOE are requesting stakeholders to provide comments and proposals on two test method issues that were discussed at the January 30th, 2015 meeting: the use of the snaked traffic topology, and the ambient temperature requirement. Additional information on the issues and the request for proposals is provided in the request letter posted on the Energy Star LNE website.
The U.S. EPA will also be hosting a series of working group sessions to discuss outstanding issues related to developing an LNE specification.
On January 30th, 2015, the U.S. Environment Protection agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hosted a meeting to discuss the ENERGY STAR® Large Network Equipment (LNE) program. In acknowledgement of the complexity of LNE products, during that call, EPA proposed hosting a series of phone – based working sessions over the coming months to discuss key outstanding issues. With this letter, EPA is outlining the topics and timing for those conference calls. EPA welcomes stakeholder feedback on additional topics for discussing during the working calls.
