If the LCD Home screen is set to an option other than

these three choices, the option will be displayed as

"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 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.

If you select Custom, you can configure each option

independently.
