9.2.1 Power Management Modes

The R210 II uses operating system-based power management.

9.2.1.1 Power Saving BIOS Setting (OS Control)

Intel processors support Demand Based Switching (DBS) which enables the processor to dynamically

change its operating frequency in response to workload changes. The industry standard

implementation of this power management feature is in the Operating System (OS). The OS monitors

process and thread level utilization of the processor and uses processor controls to change the

processor‘s operating frequency. For heavy workloads, the OS runs the processor at higher

frequencies for additional performance. Lighter workloads do not need high performance, thus the

OS runs the processor at lower frequencies.

9.2.1.2 Maximum Performance

The Maximum Performance Mode disables power management. In this mode, the processor frequency

is statically set to the highest supported frequency.

The power management features are implemented through two categories: fixed or generic. Fixed

features use bits defined in the ACPI specification for specific capabilities. The fixed feature bits

give the OS complete control over the power management of a device since the location of the bits is

given to the OS in the FACP table. Thus, a driver can directly access bits to control a device‘s power

management. Generic features have defined enable and status bits, but the functionality is not fully

visible to the OS. Dell provides ASL code to handle the details of generic features, allowing the OS to

intelligently communicate with system-specific hardware.

Table 12 summarizes the power management features on this system:
