The HP rp5700 Desktop PC saves energy, is easier to recycle at the end of its life, and is also available with an optional solar energy source as an alternative power choice. Some of these features are now incorporated in other new HP models.
This product has an expected life of five years, even in rigorous environments like a distribution center or manufacturing floor. This is the longest life of any HP business PC and helps save energy and materials because customers need to replace the computer less frequently.
The HP rp5700 Desktop PC uses the low-power Intel Core 2 Duo processor and HP technology that helps manage power and sleep settings more efficiently. The 80 PLUS power supply is up to 15 percent more efficient than previous-generation HP power supplies. This helps reduce overall energy use and associated costs, as well as the amount of waste heat generated.
The HP rp5700 Desktop PC is the first product to meet the stringent requirements for a gold rating with the Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT™). It also meets several other environmental standards, such as the European Union’s RoHS requirements. It joins the HP portfolio of business desktops introduced in January 2007 that meets the energy-efficiency specifications to earn the ENERGY STAR® and 80 PLUS. In its maximum energy-efficient configuration, and paired with an HP flat panel monitor, the HP rp5700 PC may help customers save as much as 80 percent in power consumption over previous-generation HP systems using cathode ray tube monitors.
We also designed the HP rp5700 desktop PC for easier recycling at the end of its usable life. It is built with 95 percent recyclable components and has a tool-less chassis designed for quick and easy hand disassembly.
“Customers increasingly value environmental aspects of products,” said Jeff Omelchuck, executive director of the Green Electronics Council, which manages the EPEAT program. “HP is clearly differentiating itself by integrating such features into their products, as evidenced by the HP rp5700 Desktop PC.”

In 2007, HP Labs began building a 70,000–square-foot data center in Bangalore, India, combining the computing power of 14 existing facilities under one roof.
The site uses HP Dynamic Smart Cooling (DSC), which reduces energy and costs by adjusting cooling to the needs of the servers, rather than continually cooling throughout the data center. The Bangalore center has 7,500 sensors that monitor equipment environment temperatures and adjust the air conditioning accordingly. Through this design, HP achieved initial savings of 20 percent of cooling costs compared with legacy data centers, and we expect those savings to reach 40 percent once the system is optimized.
We anticipate that the new center will save 7,500 MWh annually, equal to 7,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions(CO2e). It represents the largest implementation of DSC to date and demonstrates that the savings achieved in smaller data centers are possible in much larger facilities.
