For all but the Custom setting, the BIOS pre-configures the power settings on this screen as follows: • OS Control sets the processor 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 processor 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. • Maximum Performance sets all fields to Maximum Performance. If you select Custom, you can configure each option independently. CPU Power and Performance Management Options are OS DBPM, System DBPM, Maximum Performance, or Minimum Power.
