Power

Power/Performance Bias determines how the power management of the processor is controlled.

[Platform Controlled]: The system controls the setting.

[OS Controlled]: The operating system controls the setting.

Not all operating systems support this feature.

When a preset mode is selected, the low-level settings are not changeable and will be grayed out. To change the settings, choose System Settings > Operating Modes > Choose Operating Mode > Custom Mode.

[Maximum Performance] allows the most aggressive use of turbo and power management functions are disabled, thereby increasing power consumption.

[Minimal Power] disables turbo and maximizes the use of power management features.

When a preset mode is selected, the low-level settings are not changeable and will be grayed out. To change the settings, choose System Settings > Operating Modes > Choose Operating Mode > Custom Mode.

[I/O sensitive] is recommended for expansion cards that require the high bandwidth I/O when the processor cores are idle to allow enough frequency for the workload.

Enables or disables ACPI Fixed Power Button.

When [Disabled] is selected, pressing the power button on front of the system does not execute the power button policy in operating system, such as shutdown and turn off monitor. Also, when disabled, the following options under the BMC Server (Web) Power Actions feature will be disabled. 1. Power Off Server Normally. 2. Restart Server Normally.

PCIe Power Brake quickly reduces the power consumption and performance of high-power PCIe devices.

Performances of low-power PCIe devices are not impacted by this setting.

A high-power PCIe device refers to the one with a rated power of 75 W TDP or greater.
