AES-NI
Select Enable to use the Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) New Instructions (NI) to
ensure data security. The options are Enable and Disable.
Advanced Power Management Confi guration
Power Technology
Select Energy Effi cient to support power-saving mode. Select Custom to customize system
power settings. Select Disabled to disable power-saving settings. The options are Disable,
Energy Effi cient, and Custom. When this feature is set to Custom, the following items
will display.
Power Performance Tuning (Available when "Power Technology" is set to Custom)
Select BIOS Controls EPB to allow the system BIOS to confi gure Power-Performance
Tuning Bias settings listed below. The options are BIOS Controls EPB and OS Controls
EPB.
Energy_PERF_BIAS_CFG (Energy Performance BIAS Confi guration) Mode (Available
when "Power Performance Tuning" is set to BIOS Controls EPB)
Use this feature to set the processor power use policy to achieve the desired operation
settings for your machine by prioritizing system performance or energy savings. Select
Maximum Performance to maximize system performance (to its highest potential); however,
this may result in maximum power consumption as energy is needed to fuel the processor
frequency. The higher the performance is, the higher the power consumption will be. Select
Power to enhance power effi ciency; however, system performance may be impacted as
a result. The options are Maximum Performance, Performance, Balanced Performance,
Balanced Power, and Power.
CPU P State Control
SpeedStep (PStates)
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to automatically adjust
processor voltage and core frequency in an effort to reduce power consumption and heat
dissipation. Please refer to Intel's website for detailed information. The options are Disable
and Enable.
EIST PSD Function (Available when SpeedStep is set to Enable)
Use this feature to confi gure the processor's P-State coordination settings. During a P-State,
the voltage and frequency of the processor will be reduced when it is in operation. This
makes the processor more energy effi cient, resulting in further energy gains. The options
are HW_ALL, SW_ALL and SW-ANY.
