Description
Options are OS Control, 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.
• Maximum Performance sets all fields to Maximum
Performance.
If you select Custom, you can configure each
option independently.
