"Advanced" in the BIOS. In this event, the option
cannot be changed in the BIOS unless it is changed
back to User Defined String, Model Number, or None
through another LCD configuration utility (such as the
BMC or iDRAC Configuration Utility or the LCD panel
menu).

Description

Power Management

Options are OS Control, Active Power Controller,
Custom, or Maximum Performance. For all but the
Custom setting, the 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.

The BIOS sets the processor performance based on
processor utilization.

Maximum Performance sets all fields to Maximum

Performance.
