Tips for using PowerUp

From any computer, the PowerUp tool allows you to wake up an on-campus computer that has been powered off.

PowerUp is an effort to help conserve energy at the University of Iowa. Many faculty and staff members use Remote Desktop to access office computers while working away from campus, thus requiring computers to be powered on 24 hours a day. PowerUp allows the University community to conserve energy while away from the office by shutting down or putting their computer to sleep. PowerUp provides the flexibility to turn on your workstations when you need to access them remotely.
