HP Power Regulator for ProLiant servers

8
Figure 2 shows Power Regulator mode comparisons under different CPU utilization (performance)
loads using the two-processor DL380 G7 server with Quad-core Intel Xeon 5670 2.93-GHz
processors. At loads under 70% of the maximum performance, Static Low Power mode uses up to 8%
less power than Static High Performance mode to provide the same performance. Figure 2 also shows
that Dynamic Power Savings mode (slow response) uses the entire CPU performance range like Static
High mode, but provides the same power savings as Static Low mode.

fast response time) and Static modes (Low Power and High Performance)
