> set power baseline

Before running a baseline calibration - ensure that

This process will briefly impact the performance of the

Are you sure you wish to set a new power baseline for this system? (Y/N/Q)

must be between the minimum and maximum values that were set with the SET POWER BASELINE command

and are shown with the SHOW POWER BASELINE command.
