HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide

When initially configuring and provisioning a server through Intelligent Provisioning, this Quick
Configs screen is presented in the “Step 1: Hardware Settings” (page 21) screen.
If the server does not have HP DIMMs installed, the following Power Profiles might not all be
available:
• Balanced Power and Performance—Optimum settings to maximize power savings with minimal
impact to performance for most OSs and applications.
• Minimum Power Usage—Enables power reduction mechanisms that might negatively affect
performance. This mode guarantees a lower maximum power usage by the system.
• Maximum Performance—Disables all power management options that might negatively affect
performance.
After selecting and applying a profile, a confirmation message appears.
To customize the individual settings, press the F9 key during server reboot to go to RBSU or UEFI
System Utilities.
