• Balanced Power and Performance provides the optimum settings to maximize power savings with minimal performance impact for most operating systems and applications. • Minimum Power Usage enables power reduction mechanisms that may affect performance negatively. This mode guarantees a lower maximum power usage by the system. • Maximum Performance disables all power management options that may affect performance negatively. HP Power Regulator (G6 servers) This feature configures the Power Regulator for ProLiant support. The following options are available: • HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode o Automatically varies processor speed and power usage based on processor use o Reduces overall power consumption with little or no impact to performance o Does not require OS support • HP Static Low Power Mode o Reduces processor speed and power usage o Guarantees a lower maximum power usage for the system o The impact on performance is greater for environments with higher processor utilization. • HP Static High Performance Mode RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 servers or server blades) 25
