Power Management

You can reduce the processor power consumption of the managed system by enabling power saver mode.

1. In the navigation area, click Resources, and then select All Systems.
2. Select the server for which you want to enable the power saver mode and click Actions > View All Actions.
3. Select Power Management under Operations.
4. Choose from any of the following Power Saver mode options:
   • Static: Reduces the power consumption by reducing the processor clock frequency and the voltage to fixed values. This option delivers predictable performance while reducing the power consumption.
   • Dynamic Power Saver mode: Delivers power savings by varying the processor frequency and voltage that is based on the utilization of the system processors. In Dynamic Power Saver Mode, the system firmware balances performance and power consumption.
   • Maximum Performance mode: Causes the processor frequency to be set at a specified fixed value. You can set the maximum limit of the processor frequency and power consumption of the system.

   Note: If you enable a Power Saver mode, processor frequencies, processor usage will change, and power consumption will change. It also causes varying performance.
5. You can also choose to enable or disable the Idle Power Saver mode. When it is enabled, it reduces the energy consumption when the system is in idle state.

   Note: Setting the Power Saver and Idle Power Saver modes are independent operations.
