Replace the hard drive with an SSD drive

Printers
They are generally energy-hungry devices only during the printing phase, but this does not mean we have to leave them on all the time. If they are desktop printers, they can be turned on when needed, while for network printers, which are often located in other rooms, I discovered by fiddling with the settings on their display that there is the possibility of programming their switching on and off. Result: in our office they only switch on during working hours and remain off on weekends or when the company is closed.

Server
I would like to point out that servers are normally south africa email list devices designed to provide services 24/7, especially if they perform scheduled operations or operate on the web. For this reason they are designed to have good energy efficiency; however, it is also true that they have many hard disks and powerful processors designed to serve multiple users at the same time and therefore at full load they consume a lot.

Let's start by saying that if the server provides services via the company intranet or the Internet, it is useless for the monitor to always be on (maybe it is even closed in a small room), we can turn it off without problems and use remote access to use the server from our workstation.

An important element is to evaluate the use we make of the server. Using it to run the company management and leaving it on all night as if it were invoicing even without us is (unfortunately) completely useless.
