5. Click the Login button.

6. Select System > Management > Green Ethernet > Green Ethernet Configuration.
The Green Ethernet Configuration page displays.
7. Select the Auto Power Down Mode Disable or Enable radio button.
By default, this mode is disabled. When a port link is down, the underlying physical layer
goes down for a short period and then checks for port link pulses again so that
autonegotiation remains possible. In this way, the switch saves power when no link
partner is present for the port.
8. Select the EEE Mode Disable or Enable radio button.
By default, this mode is disabled. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC
with a family of physical layers that support operation in a low power mode. It is defined
by the IEEE 802.3az standard. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive
sides of the link to disable some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded.
Transition to low power mode does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not
dropped or corrupted in transition to and from low power mode. Transition time is
transparent to upper layer protocols and applications.
9. Click the Apply button.
