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.

Performance.
If you select Custom, you can configure each option
independently.
