HP ROM-Based Setup Utility - Manual (Page 123)

Thermal Configuration
This feature enables the user to select the fan cooling solution for the system.
Depending on the system, options may include:
•
Optimal Cooling (default)—Provides the most efficient solution by configuring fan speeds to
the minimum required to provide adequate cooling.
•
Increased Cooling—Operates fans at higher speeds to provide additional cooling. HP
recommends selecting Increased Cooling when a 10GbE NIC Card or I/O Accelerator is
installed, or if the system is experiencing thermal issues that cannot be resolved in another
manner.
•
Maximum Cooling—Provides the maximum cooling available for the platform. (Available only
on Gen8 servers with Intel processors).
