HP Static High Performance Mode sets the processor to the highest supported processor state
o
and forces it to stay in that state.
Enable OS Control Mode sets the processor to maximum power.

After selecting a Power Regulator for ProLiant option, click Apply to save the setting. The server
requires a reboot for the change to take affect. These settings cannot be changed while the server is
in POST. If the settings do not change after clicking Apply, the server might be in the boot process or
require rebooting. Exit any RBSU program you are running, allow POST to complete, and then try
the operation again.

The Power Capping Settings section enables you to view measured power values, set a power cap,
and disable power capping.
Measured power values include the server power supply maximum value, the server maximum
power, and the server idle power. The power supply maximum power value refers to the maximum
amount of power that the server power supply can provide. The server maximum and idle power
values are determined by two power tests run by the ROM during POST.
Power Cap Setting enables you to set a power cap on the server. After a power cap is set, the
average power reading of the server over time should be at or below the cap value. You can set the
power cap by entering either a watt or Btu/hr value (click Show values in Btu/hr) or a percentage.
The percentage refers to the difference between the maximum and idle power values. The cap value
cannot be set below the server idle power.
Power Capping Settings are disabled when the server is part of an Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap.
These values are set and modified using either Onboard Administrator or Insight Power Manager.
If the server has the hardware and software to support dynamic power capping, the message
o
System supports Dynamic Power Capping appears. Dynamic power capping provides
electrical circuit breaker protection.
If the message System supports Dynamic Power Capping does not appear, the server
o
supports normal power capping. Normal power capping does not react fast enough to provide
electrical circuit breaker protection.
For more information on dynamic power capping, see "Dynamic power capping for server blades."
