Power switches on the SunRay's themselves are impractical, since in the
non-monitor versions, most of the power is actually consumed in the
power brick, which would still be powered anyway.
If your actually worried about every little bit, power strips with
on/off switches is the way to go. Gets the SunRay, the monitor, and
whatever else you want switched in the cubical.

How about some sort of soft switch - ie using the moon key on the

This was a good question as we have a green policy which basically
means we turn everything off overnight if not required. I know the
SunRay 2 and 2FS units have very low power requirements but every bit
counts.
Has anyone else had this question come up and/or a solution?
Unfortunately in most cases these units are being plugged into power
sockets with no switches so having a switch on the unit would be
handy.
As far as a switch in the unit, we have often considered it but decided
against it primarily for RAS reasons - it's one more thing to break, but
also for cost reasons.
Within Sun, every office has a motion sensor to turn off lights and
an outlet when nobody is there. The Sun Rays plug into that power
outlet. Within our lab, where we have many Sun Rays, we use power
strips with switches. In the unlikely event that a switch fails,
it's a lot
cheaper to replace the power strip than a Sun Ray.
