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:
l
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.
l
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.
l
Maximum Performance sets all fields to Maximum Performance.
If you select Custom, you can configure each option independently.

TPM Security
(Off default)
Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the system.
If Off, the presence of the TPM is not reported to the operating system.
If On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-boot measurements to the
TPM during POST.
If On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses pre-boot measurements.
TPM Activation
(No Change
default)
When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled to default settings. When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled. The No Change state initiates
no action. The operational state of the TPM remains unchanged (all user settings for the TPM are preserved).
