Option Description
System Profile Sets the system profile. If you set the System Profile option to a mode other than 
Custom, the BIOS automatically sets the rest of the options. You can only change 
the rest of the options if the mode is set to Custom. This option is set to 
Performance Per Watt Optimized (DAPC) by default. DAPC is Dell Active Power 
Controller.
NOTE: All the parameters on the system profile setting screen are available 
only when the System Profile option is set to Custom.
CPU Power 
Management
Sets the CPU power management. This option is set to System DBPM (DAPC) by 
default. DBPM is Demand-Based Power Management.
Memory 
Frequency
Sets the speed of the system memory. You can select Maximum Performance, 
Maximum Reliability, or a specific speed.
Turbo Boost Enables or disables the processor to operate in the turbo boost mode. This option 
is set to Enabled by default.
Energy Efficient 
Turbo
Enables or disables the Energy Efficient Turbo option.
Energy Efficient Turbo (EET) is a mode of operation where a processor’s core 
frequency is adjusted to be within the turbo range based on workload.
C1E Enables or disables the processor to switch to a minimum performance state when 
it is idle. This option is set to Enabled by default.
C States Enables or disables the processor to operate in all available power states. This 
option is set to Enabled by default.
Collaborative CPU 
Performance 
Control
Enables or disables the CPU power management option. When set to Enabled, the 
CPU power management is controlled by the OS DBPM and the System DBPM 
(DAPC). This option is set to Disabled by default.
Memory Patrol 
Scrub
Sets the memory patrol scrub frequency. This option is set to Standard by default.
Memory Refresh 
Rate
Sets the memory refresh rate to either 1x or 2x. This option is set to 1x by default.
Uncore Frequency Enables you to select the Processor Uncore Frequency option.
Dynamic mode enables the processor to optimize power resources across the 
cores and uncore during runtime. The optimization of the uncore frequency to 
either save power or optimize performance is influenced by the setting of the 
Energy Efficiency Policy option.
Energy Efficient 
Policy
Enables you to select the Energy Efficient Policy option.
The CPU uses the setting to manipulate the internal behavior of the processor and 
determines whether to target higher performance or better power savings.
Number of Turbo 
Boot Enabled 
Cores for 
Processor 1
NOTE: If there are two processors installed in the system, you see an entry for 
Number of Turbo Boost Enabled Cores for Processor 2.
Controls the number of turbo boost enabled cores for processor 1. The maximum 
number of cores is enabled by default.
