|
Measures were done using a Current Clamp Meter on the Helios4 12V DC input. AC Power consumption is calculated based on a AC/DC conversion efficiency of 85%.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Meter tool : Extech 380942 - 30A True RMS AC/DC Mini Clamp
|
||||||
|
* AC/DC Adapter : yczx1268 (efficiency : 85%)
|
||||||
|
* AC Input Voltage: 220V
|
||||||
|
* HDD: 4x WD Red 2TB (WD20EFRX) configured as RAID10
|
||||||
|
* Network : Connected at 1000Mb/s
|
||||||
|
* OS: ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.98-mvebu

When system is put in suspend mode, the PWM feature controlling the fan speed is stopped. The fans will either spin at their lowest speed ([Batch 1 fan](/pwm/#old-fan-batch-1)) or stop spinning ([Batch 2 fan](/pwm/#new-fan-batch-2)). In the latest case, while this is not an issue for the SoC itself which is designed to run with passive cooling, it might have a negative impact on the HDD peripherals because the ambient temperature inside the case will rise.
