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.
