A Recommendations Report (Figure 7) is also available for each component. Based on the user-
selected configuration for the highlighted server, the Power Advisor offers four types of
recommendations:
• General Purpose—configuration with best balance of performance, cost, and efficiency
• Performance—enhanced configuration for maximum performance
• Low Cost—economical configuration achieving similar performance
• High Efficiency—configuration using less power with possible sacrifice in performance
The user selects a recommended configuration in the top bar of the screen and clicks Update. The tool
then displays the Configuration screen showing the updated power calculations.

After selecting a unit server, the user can quickly load a rack of identically configured servers by
highlighting the configured server and clicking on the Duplicate button. The Delete button removes
highlighted servers from the configuration.
