Options are OS Control, Active Power Controller, Custom, or

BIOS pre-configures the power settings on this screen as follows:
OS Control sets the CPU power to OS DBPM, the fan power to

Minimum Power, and the memory power to Maximum

Performance. In this setting, all processor performance

information is passed from the system BIOS to the operating

system for control. The operating system sets the processor

performance based on processor utilization.
Active Power Controller sets the CPU power to System DBPM,

the fan power to Minimum Power, and the memory power to

Maximum Performance. In this setting, processor performance is

controlled by the system BIOS.
Maximum Performance sets all fields to Maximum Performance.
If you select Custom, you can configure each option independently.
