HP Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux manual Using Intelligent Provisioning

NOTE: Quick Configs is disabled for RBSU password-protected systems.

When initially configuring and provisioning a server through Intelligent Provisioning, this Quick Configs screen is presented in the “Step 1: Hardware Settings” (page 20) 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.
