the server for maximum power savings, maximum efficiency, and maximum
performance.
- Minimal Power mode
Select this choice to minimize the absolute power consumption of the
system during operation. Server performance in this mode might be
reduced depending on the application that is running.
- Efficiency-Favor Power mode
Select this choice to configure the server to draw the minimum amount of
power and generate the least noise. Server performance might be degraded,
depending on the application that you are running. This mode provides the
best features for reducing power and increasing performance in
applications where the maximum bus speeds are not critical.
