array configuration.
IMPORTANT: If unsupported media devices, including non-HP SD cards (“SD Boot”), are connected

make sure you have network share information available, or a disk or ISO, FTP, or USB drive
installed when prompted.
1. Select the power management System Profile to use. These profiles set a basic policy for
performance versus power usage without having to configure individual settings through RBSU
or UEFI System Utilities menus.
The current (or a recommended) profile is displayed, but to change the settings, the options
include:
• No Change
• Balanced Power and Performance
• Minimum Power Usage
• Maximum Performance
The suggested default varies. If Intelligent Provisioning detects existing settings on the server
that match one of these profiles, that profile is displayed in the System Profiles field. If Intelligent
Provisioning detects settings that do not match one of the profiles, No Change is displayed in
this field.
For more information about these options, see Quick Configs.
