Management

Options are OS Control, Active Power Controller, Custom, or
Maximum Performance.

If you select OS Control, Active Power Controller, or Maximum

this screen. If you select Custom, you can configure each option
independently.

CPU Power and
Performance
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. 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.
