Setting the Energy/Performance Bias
Use the Energy/Performance Bias option to configure several processor subsystems to optimize the
processor’s performance and power usage.
Prerequisites
Workload Profile is set to Custom.
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Power and Performance Options > Energy/Performance Bias.
2. Select a setting.
• Maximum Performance—Provides the highest performance and lowest latency. Use this setting
for environments that are not sensitive to power consumption.
• Balanced Performance—Provides optimum power efficiency and is recommended for most
environments.
