Option Description
Front Panel LCD Options Options are User Defined String, Model Number,
or None.
If the LCD Home screen is set to an option other than
these three choices, the option will be displayed as
"Advanced" in the BIOS. In this event, the option cannot
be changed in the BIOS unless it is changed back to User
Defined String, Model Number, or None through
another LCD configuration utility (such as the iDRAC
Configuration Utility or the LCD panel menu).
User-Defined LCD String You can enter a name or other identifier for the system, to
be displayed on the LCD module screen.

Power Management Options are OS Control, Active Power Controller,
Custom, or Maximum Performance. For all but the

, the fan
power to

, and the memory power to

BIOS to the operating system for control. The operating
system sets the processor performance based on
processor utilization.
•
Active Power Controller
sets the CPU power to
System
DBPM
, the fan power to
Minimum Power
, and the
memory power to
Maximum Performance
. The BIOS
sets the processor performance based on
processor utilization.
•

Performance
.
If you select Custom, you can configure each option
independently.
