(a) The following definitions refer to computers:

1. (1) Computer means a device that performs logical operations and processes data. A computer includes both stationary and portable units and includes a desktop computer, a portable all-in-one, a notebook computer, a mobile gaming system, a high-expandability computer, a small-scale server, a thin client, and a workstation. Although a computer is capable of using input devices and displays, such devices are not required to be included with the computer when the computer is shipped. A computer is composed of, at a minimum:

   1. (i) a central processing unit (CPU) to perform operations or, if no CPU is present, then the device must function as a client gateway to a server, and the server acts as a computational CPU;
   2. (ii) the ability to support user input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch pad; and
   3. (iii) an integrated display screen or the ability to support an external display screen to output information. The term computer does not include a tablet, a game console, a television, a device with an integrated and primary display that has a screen size of 20 square inches or less, a server other than a small-scale server, or an industrial computer.
2. (2) Desktop computer means a computer whose main unit is designed to be located in a fixed location, often on a desk or on the floor. A desktop computer includes an integrated desktop computer. A workstation, a high expandability computer, or a small-scale server is not a desktop computer.
3. (3) Thin client means an independently powered computer that relies on a connection to remote computing resources (for example, a computer server or a remote workstation) to obtain primary functionality. Main computing functions (for example, program execution, data storage, interaction with other internet resources) are provided by remote computing resources. A thin client does not have integral rotational storage media and is designed for use in a fixed location during operation.

4. (4) Mobile gaming system means a computer that is primarily used for gaming and that is designed specifically for portability and to be operated for extended periods both with and without a direct connection to an AC mains power source.

       2. (b) if a discrete GPU is installed, choose a connection to the first GPU, except for where it conflicts with clause (a) of this subparagraph;
       3. (c) if no discrete GPU is installed, choose a connection to a port integrated into the motherboard;

       4. (d) if there are multiple connector ports to choose from pursuant to clause (a) through clause (c) of this subparagraph, connect the display to a port using the first available from the port types listed below:

          1. (1) display port;
          2. (2) HDMI;
          3. (3) DVI;
          4. (4) VGA;
          5. (5) other.
    5. (v) An integrated desktop computer, mobile gaming system, or notebook computer shall be tested using the integrated display's native resolution.
    6. (vi) High expandability computers shall be configured for the test in a manner identical to desktop computers. Mobile gaming systems and mobile workstations shall be configured for the test in a manner identical to notebook computers.
    7. (vii) For purposes of providing data as required in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, section 1606, as incorporated by reference in section 509.61 of this Part, desktop computers, thin clients, mobile gaming systems, notebook computers, and portable all-in-ones shall be tested by selecting the configuration that has the greatest allowable energy consumption as provided for in California Code of Regulations, Title 20 section 1605.3(v)(6), as incorporated by reference in section 509.61 of this Part. If multiple configurations exist that meet this criteria, select the configuration that will yield the greatest annual energy consumption as measured by the test procedure.
    8. (viii) The computer sleep mode power measurement shall be tested in a modified manner from the test procedure described in IEC 62623:2012 or IEC 62623:2020, as incorporated by reference in section 509.61 of this Part. Instead of measuring power after manually entering sleep mode, the power measurement shall begin no sooner than 30 minutes and no later than 31 minutes of user inactivity on the unit under test. This measurement shall be performed after the long-idle test without altering the unit under test.
    9. (ix) The power factor of a computer power supply and compliance with Table 22 in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, section 1605.3(v)(6) shall both be determined by the following test procedure: Generalized Test Protocol for Calculating the Energy Efficiency of Internal Ac-Dc and Dc-Dc Power Supplies Revision 6.7 (March 1, 2014). In addition, the median power factor during short-idle measurements shall be recorded in the test report.
    10. (x) For multi-screen notebooks, configure each integrated display in the same way as the display of the units with one integrated display. The displays do not have to be configured sequentially (i.e., warmup times can be done simultaneously for all integrated displays).

    11. (xi) For computers with cyclical behavior where operation without a battery pack when connected to the mains power source is not a supported configuration and where the normal measurement time would not capture one or more complete cycles, short-idle, long-idle, sleep, and off mode power measurements shall be tested in a modified manner from the test procedure described in IEC 62623:2012 or IEC 62623:2020, as incorporated by reference in section 509.61 of this Part:

        1. (a) short-idle mode testing: The short idle test duration shall be extended long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles. The unit shall be kept in short idle through minimal user input such as moving the mouse or pressing a key that does not perform any action (e.g., shift, ctrl, tab, etc);
        2. (b) long-idle mode testing: The long idle mode test duration shall be extended long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles. The unit under test shall remain in long idle during the entire time of the extended test by disabling the sleep mode;
        3. (c) sleep mode testing: The computer sleep mode power shall be tested after restarting the computer and ensuring that the sleep mode is enabled. Instead of measuring power after manually entering sleep mode, the power measurement shall begin no sooner than 30 minutes and no later than 31 minutes of user inactivity on the unit under test. Sleep mode power measurement shall be taken over an extended period of time that is long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles;
        4. (d) off mode testing: The off-mode test duration shall be extended long enough to capture the energy consumption over one or more complete cycles.
