Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output
(I/O) ports. You can configure the serial ports, configure remote console
redirection, enable or disable integrated Ethernet controllers, the SAS/SATA
controllers, SATA optical drive channels, PCI slots, and video controller. If you
disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system will not be
able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the device).
– Power
Select this choice to view or change power capping to control consumption,
processors, and performance states.
- Active Energy Manager
Select this choice to enable or disable power capping. If you enable power
capping, the Active Energy Manager program will limit the maximum power
that is consumed by the server.
Note: It is available only when System Settings → Processors →
Processor Performance States is enabled.
- Power/Performance Bias
Select this choice to determine how the power management of the
microprocessor is controlled. You can choose either Platform Controlled
(system) or OS Controlled (operating system) to control the setting. Not all
operating systems support this feature.
- Platform Controlled Type
Select this choice to determine how to balance between performance and
power consumption. Choosing Maximum Performance will disable power
management functions and allow the most aggressive use of turbo.
Choosing Minimal Power will maximizes the use of power management
features for least power consumption and disable turbo.
Note: It is available only when System Settings → Power →
Power/Performance Bias → Platform Controlled is enabled.
- Workload Configuration
Select this choice to determine how to balance between I/O bandwidth and
balanced workload. Choosing I/O sensitive will get higher I/O bandwidth
while expansion cards are used. Choosing Balanced will allow enough
frequency for workload while the microprocessor cores are idle.
