I found that if you select a port on the (Advanced) Port Management / Green Ethernet / Port Settings screen and click "Edit" many of the ports have EEE enabled. (https://community.cisco.com/t5/switches-small-business/completely-turn-off-eee-and-green-ethernet-on-sg300-sg-220/td-p/2806115)

Here I checked the error log for more information.
